A Scottsdale recall push
By Alex IsenstadtThe Arizona Republic reports on a recall attempt on a couple of Scottsdale Councilmen.
“Scottsdale Councilmen Wayne Ecton and Bob Littlefield said they are confident they will withstand a recall challenge filed by Scottsdale resident Henry Becker.
“’I don't get excited about it," Ecton said. ‘The population understands what we've done the last four or five years and I think they'll be comfortable with my continuing on. It will be a good test.’
“Becker filed the papers with the Scottsdale city clerk on Friday but must collect 3,980 signatures from registered Scottsdale voters before the recall can appear on the Sept. 2 ballot.”
