Colorado: Two Walsenburg Councilmembers survive recall votes; three officials resign

Two Walsenburg Councilmembers, Veronica Maes (103-105) and Nick Vigil (105-114) survived recall votes. 

Previously,  Mayor Charles Bryant and Councilmember Greg Daniels and Carmen Lara resigned rather than face recalls that made the ballot.

An earlier effort against Bryant and two other council members, Ricky Jennings and Don Martinez, failed to make the ballot. Bryant is protesting the recall. 

The issue seems to be an internal battle in the government and the mayor has encouraged the recall effort against what he calls a "culture of corruption" saying they need a "hard reset." Apparently, the mayor and  Jennings (who is mayor pro tem) are on one side of the aisle.
