As you may know, though the Manatee County Supervisor of Elections threw out dozens of dubious and questionable signatures, he certified the Recall Petition on May 20, 2010. Richard Harrison, Mr. Stoltzfus' attorney, has filed a legal challenge to the Petition with pertinent attachments including the signatures themselves. He has urged the judge to grant an emergency hearing on the matter in a separate motion. We will report any news on that front as it is received.
You can read Mr. Stoltzfus' Complaint seeking injunctive relief (a halt to the recall process) and the grounds supporting his position HERE. After digesting the Complaint's significant and revealing arguments, you can make your own determination as to the efficacy of the Recall Petition. For those who may be concerned that Alice Baird is named as a defendant in the action, please understand that she is named in her non-discretionary and ministerial capacity as the Clerk of the City of Anna Maria only, not for any personal actions or conduct. The same holds for the Supervisor of Elections.
By signing the Recall Petition, each participant became a member of the Recall Committee pursuant to Florida Statute 100.361(2)(c). You can see the Petition(s) and attached signatures of each Recall Committee member HERE.
Stay tuned.
