Mayoral Recall Effort To Go Forward

By Katie Litvin

A spokesman for the campaign to recall Mayor Sam Adams says the Attorney General's report today clearing the mayor of criminal prosecution will not affect the recall effort's plans to start July 7.

Recall spokesman Jasun Wurster says the Attorney General can only hold Adams accountable for legal statutes statues, but that Portland voters should hold him accountable for what Wurster calls civic and ethical violations.

"If the citizens of Portland want Adams to be recalled," Wurster says, "he will be recalled."
