Ysursa: Absolute Recall Deadline 6/19

Item: Cd'A gets state's vote: Officials expected to meet about recall lawsuit today/Tom Hasslinger, Coeur d'Alene Press

More Info: The Secretary of State's office said Tuesday the 75-day timeline for recall petitioners to gather signatures includes the time it takes the Kootenai County Clerk to certify them. The letter sent by Secretary of State Ben Ysursa said that interpretation is the official position of the state's chief election officer and intended to help clarify a dispute between Kootenai County and the city of Coeur d'Alene in regard to how long signature collectors have to collect signatures in their attempt to oust four city officials.

Question: Does this remain unclear to anyone but County Clerk Cliff Hayes & County Prosecutor Barry McHugh & the Recall leaders?
