2002
- Tom Ament recall (2002)
. Ament resigned after facing recall when CRG collected 182,000 signatures (110,000 more than needed) in 30 days (half the allotted time) for his role in perpetrating a pension fraud that paid millions ($120 million and counting) in lump sum retirement payments and other benefits to county employees.
- Karen Ordinans recall (2002)
. Ordinans was recalled and replaced in a special election for her part in approving and passing the Ament pension plan. Think your vote doesn't count? Ordinans lost the recall election by only three votes.
- Kathleen Arciszewski recall (2002)
. Arciszewski was Ament's hand-picked replacement for Supervisor Robert Krug when he started asking too many embarrassing questions about the fraudulent pension plan. Krug had been the county board representative on the Personnel Committee which had partial oversight of the pension deal. An ardent supporter of Ament, Arciszewski was recalled and easily defeated in a special election.
