Commissioner petition reaches 5,000

A committee seeking to recall Josephine County Commissioner Sandi Cassanelli has passed the minimum number of signatures needed to get the issue on the ballot.

5-thousand have now signed the petition which demands the recall of Cassanelli after allegations of unprofessional and harassing conduct, lack of support for the sheriff’s office, veterans, the animal shelter and economic development activities.

She is further accused of denigrating behavior towards representatives of other governing bodies and non governmental organizations, and disclosing confidential personal matters in public.
