Recall effort gathers enough signatures to have election

From the Express:

Linn County Clerk Steve Druckenmiller announced on Wednesday that enough signatures had been verified to trigger a recall election on Oct. 7 of Lebanon School Board chair Josh Wineteer and vice chair Rick Alexander.

Alexander and Wineteer each have until Sept.15 either resign or submit a 200-word statement addressing the allegations made about their performance in the recall petition. The board members' statements as well as the statement justifying the recall by the chief petitioners will appear on the ballot.

....

Druckenmiller said he had his staff quit counting after they had verified over 1,500 signatures on each recall petition, well above the 1,398 required to force an election.


To busy to comment, but, uh, damn. Is everyone holding on tight? The ride is starting...

I am finding it difficult to post to the lebanon proof blog -- it repeatedly is asking me for my password and then repeatedly asks me to type in those strange letters, and then decides my password is incorrect -- I am imaginine this is why there are few posts to the blog. too bad. interesting stuff the blogger is posting.

Presumably, the owner of the blog has chosen those options. I have chosen to allow people to post anonymously and without the CAPTCHA (the series of hard-to-read letters). Contact the blog owner, if you can, about it. I don't know them and can't really do anything about it besides tell you there's nothing technically wrong with their system, and that different bloggers have different comment policies.

OK, thanks for that response on the new blog setup.
