October 23, 2005 - comments & video
On October 9th a small group calling themselves Citizens Working 4 Fernley mounted a recall against Councilman Monte Martin.
Robert Chase, a rumored hand picked candidate, was seated as councilman for Ward 3 with only 97 votes to his credit.
It was also reported that a number of residents in Ward 3 were unaware of that recall election.
Charles Lawson, an opinion writer in a local paper wrote:
"Unfortunately, the process doesn't allow for adequate noticing of all voters involved and has a relatively minuscule number of signers required on a petition for recall, so everything combined made for a rather rude education for Mr. Martin and a wake-up notice for those who irritate the rowdy element."
