A recall drive against Lake Pend Oreille School Board Chairman Steve Youngdahl has been authorized by the county. According to Bonner County Clerk Ann Dutson-Sater, recall supporters successfully collected the requisite number of signatures to set the process in motion. County clerk employees confirmed Tuesday a total 107 signatures as belonging to registered voters within school district Zone 5, a figure slightly in excess of the 104 signature requirement. With all paperwork filed and ready to go, the county’s next step is to send out letters — likely mailed Tuesday — to the school district, recall petitioners and Youngdahl. Upon receipt of the letter, Youngdahl has five days to file for resignation. If he declines to do so, the school district must order a special election for March 11 to let Zone 5 voters decide the issue/Cameron Rasmusson, Bonner County Bee. More here.
