The men filed suit against the City of Stillwater Thursday after additional signatures were invalidated. Provided
Riley Flack and Marc Trotter, co-founders of a group seeking to recall the entire Stillwater City Council, are suing the City of Stillwater, City Manager Norman McNickle and City Clerk Teresa Kadavy.
Their suit was filed the day after city officials announced recall petitions circulated by Flack and Trotterâs organization Unite Stillwater â that were originally certified with enough valid signatures to trigger a recall election for most of Stillwaterâs city councilors â had actually fallen short.
