IRONTON â A recall petition has been filed with the Lawrence County Board of Elections for Chesapeake Mayor Kim Oldaker.
The board of elections certified that sufficient signatures have been filed to put the issue on the November general election ballot.
However, the board is seeking additional information from state officials and from Lawrence County Prosecutor Attorney Brigham Andersonâs office.
Oldaker was elected Chesapeake mayor in the fall of 2019 in a close race.
The recall petition was filed by former Chesapeake Village Council member Terry Griffith.
âThe reason for the recall of the mayor of the village of Chesapeake is due to the inability of the mayor to provide a transparent and unified government entity that follows the procedures and requirements of the Ohio Revised Code for a nonchartered municipality,â Griffin said.
