Recall effort thrown out due to circulator error, law on this isn’t specific
The Point Pleasant Beach borough clerk nullified the effort to recall Mayor Vincent Barrella after she determined one of the petition circulators failed to sign the petition. Clerk Maryann Ellsworth initially decided the recall committee had met the required number of signatures to put the issue on this November’s ballot, but a subsequent decision released today said a procedural error by one of the petition circulators forced her to invalidate the entire petition.
