Between 70 and 80 supporters of the movement to recall four Coeur d’Alene city officials demonstrated in a springtime snow storm in front of Coeur d’Alene City Hall today. Three apparent supporters of the Coeur d’Alene Mayor and council members targeted for recall held up signs as a counterdemonstration. At 10 a.m. Frank Orzell and Jim Ballew delivered the prospective petitions to City Clerk Susan Weathers. She will examine them to determine if they meet the prescribed format for recall petitions. The Kootenai County Clerk will then determine the validity of the 20 signatures on each of the petitions. Weathers will notify Frank Orzell of the outcome of the examination.
In the meantime, here are a few photos of the event this morning at Coeur d’Alene City Hall.

“s just informed that the city clerk rejected the paperwork because it was incomplete.” any truth to this report in the comments to the Press article. If so what was missing?

Ancientemplar,
I don’t know the answer to either question. I do know each petition contained a statement of the reason for the recall.

Rochereau, Thanks for the compliment on Grafton. He is a good boy who loves training and should be ready for his first obedience trial this summer.

Susie, I have always enjoyed obedience trials over conformation shows. While we just did conformation, I always felt that obedience was a ballet of dog and person.
