Louisiana citizens are moving forward with a Bogalusa City Council recall. Specifically targeted in recall efforts are: Bogalusa Mayor Mack McGehee and council members Marilyn Crews, Michael O’Ree, Paul Penton and Andy Deleon. [1]

On August 7, 2009, recall supporters missed the deadline to place the recall on the October 17 ballot. Now, the group is aiming to place the recall on the March 27, 2010 ballot.[2]

Background

The recall effort began shortly after four council members voted to increase the city’s sewerage rate on June 18, 2009. Council members voted in favor of the rate increase in large part because of the city's financial problems. It is $1.5 million in debt.[1]

The recall is sponsored by Bogalusa Concerned Citizens.
