Wayne Town Councilman Richard Jasterzbski faced a recall effort following an altercation with a local Republican Party volunteer. A recall petition was submitted to the town clerk on June 21, 2017, and the city council voted 6-1 to request Jasterzbski's resignation on the same day. Jasterzbski refused to resign from office and did not discuss the recall effort at the time of the petition.[1]
Recall supporters
Alan Purcell, Anthony Ciambrone, and Robert Ceberio submitted the petition with a statement arguing Jasterzbski's lack of suitability for office. This statement cited a June 2017 argument between Jasterzbski and Susan Enderly recorded by Enderly. In the video, Jasterzbski used expletives while arguing Enderly removed his campaign signs from the Passaic County Republican Organization's office window.[1]
Recall opponents
After publication of the Enderly video, Jasterzbski argued that Enderly should not have removed his campaign signs from the office's window. He also noted that Enderly also used expletives during the exchange.[2]
