Michigan: More Petitions filed against Flint officials

Back on the Flint recall case -- six petitions were filed against Flint Council President Ladel Lewis and 9 against Judy Priestly.

There have been numerous recall attempts that have failed including four against Lewis. The recalls seem to be about community grant program, approval of Brownfield Plans and how revenue is allocated and a power struggle.

There is a current recall just filed against Councilmember Tonya Burns.

The recall of recall of Flint Councilmember Quincy Murphy did make the ballot, but Murphy died before the election.

 making him the third Flint Councilmember to have active petitions outstanding. There are also attempts many other officials in Flint. The claim against Pfeiffer is "conduct unbecoming a councilmember."

A recall against Flint Councilmember Eva Worthing got on the ballot, but she did not run in the May 7th vote.  

Worthing called out four other councilmembers, led by Eric Mays, against whom there were recall efforts. The four were Councilmember Dennis Pfeiffer, Mays, Jerri Winfrey-Carter and Tonya Burns.

The anti-Mays forces claim that Mays and another councilmember called a meeting that they others did not attend over the question of applying for a community grant program funding. Mays has also been charged with disorderly conduct for conduct at the council meetings that has apparently gone viral.

Recalls were also filed against councilmember Priestley (with two filed against Priestly). Former Council President Allie Herkenroder already announced that she was resigning her seat last year.
