Legislature Debates Progressives As Recall Amendments Fall
In a heated session the legislature failed to advance recall machinery changes as opponents blocked key thresholds. Several amendments increasing required petition percentages were defeated while a Teats motion to raise the recall trigger to ten percent also failed, solidifying the lower standard. Multiple lawmakers supported higher thresholds but the measures did not pass, and final votes reflected a decisive majority against expansion of recall power.
