A petition to recall Mayor Johnny Anders of the city of Stamford, Texas was initiated on September 15, 2009.
Approximately 50 concerned citizens attended a meeting and backed the recall efforts because of water problems that struck the city. Other reasons for the recall attempt included the termination of the city’s fire chief and a bleak financial situation. Although there were multiple reasons for the recall effort, water issues took the main spotlight. Residents complained of a raise in the water rates, a $75 fee to turn water back on after disconnection, dirty bath and tap water and little to no water pressure.
Also targets of the recall efforts were all city council members.[1]
As of December 2015, this recall effort appeared to be abandoned and Ballotpedia discontinued active coverage. Please contact us if new developments occur with this recall effort.
