An article in the Las Vegas Sun:
Recall drive launched vs. Ely City Council members (September 12, 2014)
Here's a short excerpt:
Quote
"The way the public is hot right now, I don't anticipate we'll have any trouble whatsoever in getting (the required) number of people to sign," Stork told The Ely Times (http://bit.ly/1rUBrPY ).
Van Camp said the council's greatest concern is the railway's debt of nearly $600,000, not including another $375,000 or so under a contract with S&S Shortline.
Asked about her reaction to the recall drive, she replied, "I'm disappointed that people don't want to face the truth, but we were elected and appointed to do a job. We only want the best for the city and the railroad, and we are going forward with the forensic audit."
City Council members were present Sept. 2 when White Pine County Commissioner Mike Coster entered the railway's offices through a second-floor window in order to unlock the front door to let an auditor inside. Coster said he took the action as an individual, not an elected official.
