PDF: Council Recall
Two council members now face a recall effort that has been targeting Mayor Ron Littlefield for weeks.
“We need people in government who are responsible,” said Chris Brooks, an organizer for the group Chattanooga Organized for Action.
The group targeted Council Chairman Manny Rico and Councilman Jack Benson in its latest recall effort. The group, along with Citizens to Recall Mayor Littlefield and the Chattanooga Tea Party, have been working on a recall effort for Littlefield for weeks.
On Thursday, Chattanooga Organized for Action asked the Hamilton County Election Commission to approve gathering the recall petitions for Rico and Benson. The commission gave its approval, so now it is up to the group to get the required signatures.
