Newport News is once again looking at allowing a vote on a charter amendment to allow recalls in the city.
Last year, Newport News looked into the amendment and it had the support of Mayor McKinley Price is in favor of the recall law. The state legislature would need to approve it.
Under last year's proposed amendment, petitions would need 25% of turnout (at least 300 signatures for each district and 1000 for the mayor). There would also be a one year grace period.
In 2019, Newport News Vice Mayor Tina Vick faced recall threats, though it seems not to have any legal backing to it.
