Foro faces recall in a special vote-by-mail election that will conclude March 11.
“I’m still questioning why a recall is even going on,” Foro said Monday. “I’ve certainly done nothing illegal or unethical. Everything I’ve done has been approved through the city attorney. But, I guess we’ll go through the motions and waste taxpayer dollars for this anyway.”
Hall filed paperwork on Monday to circulate nominating petitions. The deadline to file is Jan. 11.
Hall and any other potential candidates need 26 valid petition signatures apiece to get on the ballot, City Clerk Sherry Ann Aguilar said.
Residents looking to oust Foro submitted 418 recall petition signatures in October. The Maricopa County Elections Department declared 370 of the signatures valid. Only 320 valid signatures were needed to force the recall. The election is expected to cost about $10,000, Aguilar said.
Leaders of the effort have criticized Foro’s treatment of her constituents and her support of a retroactive retirement plan and flat-rate auto allowances for council members.
