Nebraska: Crofton Councilmember recall scheduled for September 12

The recall election of Crofton Councilmember James Murphy has been scheduled for September 12. with petitions still outstanding against Mayor Bob Evans and Councilmember Larry Peitz . The recalls seem to be about a police chief and officer firing (or nonrenewal). The former police chief took out the petitions against Evans and Peitz.

Petitioners needed 63 signatures for Murphy and got 67 valid ones. Petitioners need 127 for the mayoral recall.

The recall is about the firing of the police chief and claims that he did not show up for meetings (Murphy argues that he missed two meetings in 2 1/2 years), as well as votes against hiring a special CPA firm or fixing roads and the claim that "he has no opinions on important matters."
