The recall effort against North Slope Borough Mayor Josiah Aullaqsruaq Patkotak has failed, with petitioners handing in 153 signatures (and needing 371). Petitioners are claiming that the county made changes to the petitions and delayed it.
No word on the recall effort against North Slope Borough Assembly President Crawford Patkotak, who is the father of the mayor.
The recalls were over complaints over allegedly misusing funds for travel expenses for the mayor's family. The President allegedly did not disclose a personal interest when approving compensation for travel.
Apparently, the salary for the position of the Mayor is over $280,000.
In 2016, a previous Mayor, Charlotte Brower, was kicked out with a recall for sending her grandchildren to a basketball camp in California, among other issues.
