Leland is considering adopting a recall law in the town charter. State Representative Frank Iler is pushing a bill in the House to allow the town to hold a referendum on the law.
The recall seems to be incited by a proposed property tax increase. Petitioners would need 25% of registered voters' signatures in 30 days.
One interesting provision -- if two ore more council members are removed in a recall, than their successors must be voted on in a special election.
