Kansas: Ninth recall against Prairie Village Mayor fails

A ninth attempt to recall Prairie Village Mayor Eric Mikkelson has failed.

Previous recall attempts were rejected by the Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe due to not meeting the malfeasance standard requirement.  This petition did succeed in meeting that threshold because Mikkelson was accused of using city funds to target individuals who tried to remove him in the past. The petitions focus on some attempt to surmount the malfeasance question, but the issues seem to be a debate about housing plans.
