Recall petition case heard in Bluefield court
Circuit Judge William Sadler heard arguments from Blaine Braithwaite representing the Concerned Citizens for a Better Bluefield and from City Attorney Brian Cochran. The judge delayed ruling on a writ of mandamus and a motion for summary judgment, setting Sept 5 and Sept 12 response deadlines and promising a written decision after both sides file. Braithwaite argued the city failed to act on a recall petition from 232 citizens citing the 1921 charter, while Cochran said state code supersedes city code requiring more than 1,000 signatures or 20 percent.
