Recall Drive Against Forks Mayor

I haven’t been following the political situation in Forks at all, other than glimpsing at some of the PDN headlines. I have no opinion for or against Mayor Nedra Reed, or whether she should be recalled or not.

But, the Forks City Council has voted to pay the costs of fighting the recall, if enough petition signatures are collected to require an election. The Forks City Council seems to be awfully generous with their constituents’ money.

The people who are pushing for the recall are paying for it themselves. The people against the recall are getting help from local taxpayers.

Is this right?
