SECOND RECALL BID LAUNCHED
AGAINST COUNCILMAN ROSS
In the wake of a failed attempt to oust Ward 6 Las Vegas City Councilman Steve Ross, another filing has been made to recall the second-term council member.
The organizers led the previous charge, too. The group, the Committee to Recall Steve Ross, was deemed 25 valid signatures short of the 1,084 needed to force a recall election in August. It now has about three months to gather the required number of signatures.
The group's website is tossross.com.
