An effort in Manzanita, Oregon, to recall Mayor Mike Scott and City Council Members Scott Galvin, Linda Kozlowski, and Hans Tonjes from their positions was launched in August 2017. City resident Richard Mastenik initiated the recall effort by filing recall language with the city manager.[1] Mastenik ended the recall drive in November 2017 due to a lack of sufficient signatures.[2]
Recall supporters
Mastenik initiated the recall effort due to his opposition to the city's plan to spend $1.75 million on a new location for city hall. He argued that the plan to purchase Underhill Plaza for a new city hall location should have been approved by voters.[1]
Path to the ballot
