Missouri mayor who required masks faces recall vote
As the coronavirus surges in Missouri, a mayor who imposed a mask requirement and other public safety measures is facing a recall vote, even though the requirements have long since expired.
Nixa voters will have the option to recall Mayor Brian Steele at a special election set for Nov. 2, the Springfield News-Leader reports.
Steele, who was delegated emergency powers by the City Council to deal with the pandemic, enacted the mask ordinance in October. He ended the ordinance on April 30.
The petition said Steele should be recalled for “individually and without regard to the citizens of Nixa, nor the vote of city council, enacting a mask mandate, and taking other actions detrimental to the city of Nixa, its economy and the health and welfare of the community in general.”

In a democracy like the U.S., a small band of committed voters can leverage major public debate, and sometimes change, through ballot petitions.
Nixa voters will have the option to recall Mayor Brian Steele at a special election set for Nov. 2, Christian County Clerk Kay Brown confirmed this week, after a handful of citizens took action.
On Monday, the Committee to Recall the Mayor of Nixa, Missouri submitted a recall petition to the City of Nixa with 97 signatures, 73 of which were found to be valid registered voters living inside city limits by the clerk s office, under rules that call for a number of signatures matching at least 10% of the votes cast in the most recent mayoral election, Brown said.
