ONTARIO â Ontario City Councilor Freddy Rodriguez has five days to resign, justify why he shouldnât, or do nothing and wait for a special election for voters to decide on whether he should remain in office.
Ontario City Recorder Tori Barnett provided an update to the newspaper this morning. She was just notified from Malheur County Clerk Gayle Trotter that enough signatures had been certified, so there was no need to validate any more of those turned in. If needed, petition circulators had until June 7 to collect signatures.
Petitioner Cydney Cooke filed paperwork on March 9 to recall Rodriguez. A request for comment from Cooke has not yet been returned.
