Crofton Councilmember James Murphy survived a Recall Vote, 82-222. The recall is about the firing of the Police Chief and claims that he did not show up for meetings (Murphy argues that he missed two meetings in 2 1/2 years), as well as votes against hiring a special CPA firm or fixing roads and the claim that "he has no opinions on important matters."
Another Councilmember Larry Peitz, is facing a recall vote on November 14.
A recall against Mayor Bob Evans failed. The recalls seem to be about a police chief and officer firing (or nonrenewal). The former police chief took out the petitions against Evans and Peitz.
