Court Ruling Fails To Halt OOB Recall Effort
In Old Orchard Beach Maine a citizens group vows to press ahead with recalling four town councilors despite Justice Sidney Wernick ruling the group lacks standing to force a recall election. Leader Michael Ruess says the group will pursue all legal avenues and ask the attorney general to act while also pursuing a Maine Civil Liberties Union case over the right to know law. Councilor Thomas Lee Sr. calls it a victory for taxpayers, as the four councilors and Acting Town Manager face separate court action over duties and a separate district court appearance on alleged neglect of duty.
