Last week on June 25, 2020, an affidavit was filed with the office of the Big Spring City Secretary requesting the issuance of petitions for the recall of City Council Member Camilla Strande of District 5 and Council Member Jim DePauw of District 6. Since then, KBest News has found that these affidavits have been de-certified.
The official statement on the matter from the City of Big Spring states, “On advice of the City Attorney, the City Secretary has de-certified the two affidavits requesting the recall as the Charter with other law requires them to be filed by someone who lives in the District for that Council member, and the person who submitted them does not live in either District.”
City Secretary Donald Moore has advised that a Public Service Announcement would not be made on the information since it was only the media that had asked questions.
