Politicians in a California’s Central Valley were recalled, but voted to ignore the results
NYT:
[Avenal], with less than 14,000 people, has a landfill and a large state prison whose inmates make up just over a quarter of the population.
...
more than 76 percent of voters supported recalling the mayor...and three other Council members
...
The California attorney general has granted the recall organizers permission to sue the ousted officials in a quo warranto lawsuit, a rarely used legal remedy that could force the officials from office. That case is still making its way through the courts.
Separately, the district attorney’s office for Kings County has opened a criminal investigation, ordering raids on City Hall as well as on the homes of the recalled officials and the city manager
Interesting Instagram page for the author.
