Ohio: Seven Maumee officials recall makes the September 9th ballot

The recall against seven Maumee officials, Mayor James MacDonald and Councilmember Josh Harris, Jon Fiscus, Ted Kurt, Gabriel Barrow, Scott Noonan and Margo Puffenberger, has made the ballot and is scheduled for September 9th (primary day_. 

There were some interesting doings as the petitioners handed the signatures (about 1400 each, need 861), though now there is a claim that the city does not allow for recalls. Apparently, the charter intermixes the terms recall and removal and the officials' supporters say that this should negate the recall. A removal under state law is done by a court for malfeasances and the like. A recall is... a recall. 

However, the latest complaint was that they collected signatures outside of the 90 day time frame, but that was rejected by the court.

The recall appears to be complaints about transparency, distrust and how the city sewer problems have been handled.
