Recall petitions target Lincoln town officials over widening plan
RGA filed recall petitions against Mayor Barbara von Ammon Vice Mayor J Durban Brock and council members John V Long and ee S Wainwright amid opposition to widening the town road to four lanes. SOS collected 400 signatures for each recall while RGA reported 500 plus for each supporter. Kalyna says August deadline could trigger two recalls before the February 1978 town election. He calls recall a vengeful act but supports voting on all seven if needed. RGA vows legal action to halt the project and delay on the four lane widening between Tatum Blvd and west of Scottsdale Rd citing poor road condition and pending bids by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors.
