Ward 3 Enid City Commissioner Ben Ezzell Billy Hefton | Enid News & Eagle
ENID, Okla. â Recall petitioners are disputing Ben Ezzellâs assertions that prior state rulings could be applied to his appeals case and argue that the Enid city commissioner is using legal tactics to thwart his recall.
In an answer brief filed Tuesday in both district court and Oklahoma Supreme Court, the petitioners argue they have both followed all Enid City Charter requirements and that cited state statutes and rulings do not extend to recall elections.
âThis appeal is not about ensuring that the Stateâs interest in municipal elections is upheld. It is about stopping an election,â the filing read. âIf his efforts were to succeed, this would mean that his obstructionism and linguistic belligerence will be rewarded.â
