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 Tuesday morning. She was 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.
Multiple questions were sent from the newspaper regarding the outcome of her petition, including how many petition circulators she had, if sheâd ever been involved in a recall initiative in her life, whether she aimed to apply for an open seat on the council should Rodriguez resign or voters recall him, and how it felt to have obtained the needed signatures on the petition.
