Spellman recall tables set up in Copper

Over the weekend a few stations were set up throughout town to collect signatures to recall District 5 Supervisor Darren Spellman; one manned by recall supporters and one manned by former District 5 Supervisor Russ Thomas at the Lake Tulloch Shopping Center.

As early as July 2011 Rancho Calaveras resident Michael McDaniel, 64, stated that he would begin a recall effort to remove Supervisor Darren Spellman from office. By 8-29-11, in a telephone interview with Michael McDaniel he stated that the recall had been “approved and on the move (the County) has approved our petition and verbiage and have given us the green light to start collecting signatures.”

Recal supporters have until November 28, 2011 to collect 1702 valid signatures of registered voter residents within the previous District 5. “Our goal is to collect 2000” said McDaniels, hoping to offset the possible invalid signature potential.

In a recent statement to the Calaveras Enterprise McDaniel said that the number of signatures collected to date in the Rancho Calaveras area was estimated at approximately 1000 with another couple of hundred from the Copperopolis area.
