PETITION FOR RECALL

IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF Hartford SD

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED qualified voters of the municipality of Hartford, state of South Dakota, petition for
a candidate election to be held for the purpose of recalling _____Bill Campbell______________________ from
the office of _______Mayor__________, based on the following grounds:
(Here list the grounds for recall.)
Oppression:
1. The mayor stated to the attendees at a public meeting to show him RESPECT or they
will be thrown out of the meeting, without a hint of disrespect being shown.
2. The mayor threatened a citizen at a public meeting, who had approached the podium to
speak, that he will be thrown out of the meeting if he did not sit down. (see
http://hwy38news.com/?cat=21)
3. The mayor has recommended that video-taped council meetings not be made available to
the public.
4. The mayor has consistently refused to allow citizens to address the council at open
meetings.
5. The mayor refused to acknowledge the public interest in the EDD issue and allow a
change of venue, leaving over 50 people standing outside a public meeting.
Gross Partiality:
1. The mayor proposed and initiated the elimination of the EDD without consulting any
of the community bodies the EDD directs or works with, illustrating his personal
agenda when he took office.
2. The mayor used his official title of Mayor in a letter sent to voters asking for a
YES vote on the EED referendum.
3. Despite overwhelming support for the EDD position as was evidenced by the referendum
vote, the mayor recommended to modify severely the duties of the EDD in the job
description, disregarding input from the community task force, and refusing to hear
public input at the special meeting to review the job description.
4. The mayor declined numerous invitations to attend public forums on the EDD issue.
