Recall history in Bakersfield
Recalls are apparently a dime a dozen in Kern County's smaller towns. But in Bakersfield, they're rare. The last time a recall effort made the ballot was 1962. Three council members were targeted: Kathryn Belfanz of Ward 2, Dick Mossman of Ward 4 and Richard Stiern of Ward 5. The recall failed: 31 percent against Belfanz, 37 percent against Mossman, and 24 percent against Stiern. The last successful recall was against Ward 6 Councilman Elmer Martin, who faced the wrath of 63 percent of the voters in 1933. The minutes, alas, don't reveal what dastardly thing these members did to get on the ballot. (Pam in the city clerk's office dug that information out after I made a request.) 0 comments from 0 users
