We are a group of concerned residents committed to the recall of Commissioner John West, driven by our deep concern for the well-being of our community. Our mission is to address and correct the leadership and decision-making issues that have negatively impacted the health and safety of our county, led to financial mismanagement, and resulted in violations of state laws.

Why We’re Taking Action – The Legal Petition Language

This Petition requests the recall of Commissioner John West for ignoring the will of the people and for actions that have:

• Affected the health and safety of the community;
• Lost revenue, increased costs, or haphazardly cut valued services;
• Failed to follow the law.

The following actions demonstrate a failure to consider the best interests of the people he was elected to serve:

1) Bad faith negotiations in the Pipe Fork property sale, leading to lost revenue and jeopardizing a Williams community water source.

2) Ignored the will of the voters by eliminating funding for community programs, including OSU extension, Law Enforcement, and Public Health.

3) West has shown a pattern of violating state laws, including campaign finance regulations and public meeting laws, and is currently facing several pending ethics and labor law violations.

4) Unlawfully approved a Library District withdrawal leading to costly litigation.

5) West has shown a pattern of threatening community safety by reducing the Firewise program, reducing the Emergency Management program, and eliminating property development fire standards.

6) Hired unqualified political allies for key County employee and contract positions.

These actions demonstrate a pattern of unethical and illegal behavior, severely damaging public trust and warranting immediate recall.

The Recall is on the Nov/Dec Special Election Ballot
