Supreme Court rules recall petition must target each Long Branch commissioner separately
The court held that recall actions must be filed against each commissioner individually and that a single petition seeking the recall of three Long Branch officials is improper. It noted that separate elections are required for each recall and that the petition must state grounds for removal. The decision preserves the possibility of amendment for review.
