Recall of Spokane Mayor Heads to Ballot
By Associated Press
SPOKANE, Wash. --
A petition to recall Mayor Jim West, who is accused of a sex scandal,
collected more than enough signatures to set a special vote-by-mail
election in December, a county elections official said Thursday.
West, who is accused of using his office to set up dates with young
men, told The Associated Press he will fight the recall attempt by
touting the progress Spokane has made under his leadership.
"I look forward to the election Dec. 6," he said.
"It's just like any other election."
County elections workers stopped checking names and addresses after
counting 12,684 signatures, 117 more than needed, said Spokane County
Elections Supervisor Paul Brandt.
The signatures were expected to be certified Friday.
West, 55, is accused of misusing his office by seeking dates from
young men over a gay Web site and offering them gifts, trips and City
Hall jobs.
He has acknowledged having relationships with young men, but denies
doing anything illegal.
The FBI is investigating any possible public corruption.
No criminal charges have been filed.
