Two sides of a recall effort against Councilman Bridger Kimball came to a head Tuesday during the Maricopa City Council meeting as residents for and against Kimball’s removal from office expressed their opinions on the issue.
=Councilman Leon Potter is leading a recall effort against his fellow council member because of a DUI Kimball was arrested for in December 2012.
The opinions on the issue spilled out during a call to the public at the beginning of the meeting. The husband of one resident who spoke claimed his wife felt threatened by an email Kimball sent her last week.
That resident, Gina Hull, who wants Kimball to resign, addressed the council saying residents must expect “a high standard of integrity” from their elected officials and “we cannot continue to think that it’s OK for a public leader to drive while drunk.”
