An effort in San Bernardino, California, to recall City Councilmember Fred Shorett from his position was launched in March 2016. City resident William Cioci filed a notice of intent to recall with the city on March 4, 2016.[1] The recall effort did not go to a vote as no signatures were submitted by the deadline on June 3, 2016.[2]
Recall supporters
Cioci claimed in the notice of intent that Shorett supported fiscally irresponsible programs that harmed the city's economy. He also discussed Shorett's opposition to medical marijuana in an interview with The Sun.[1]
Response by Fred Shorett
Shorett told The Sun that he is focused on fiscal responsibility and that the council's legislative review committee continues to review the impacts of medical marijuana dispensaries.[1]
