York County Press Release
YORK COUNTY – A majority of registered voters in McCool Junction have said yes to the recall of a board member.
This effort began in late September when Larry Blum from McCool Junction filed to circulate a petition asking to recall Patricia Wagner, who is in the middle of her four-year term on the McCool Village Board.
His statement, regarding his reason for seeking the recall, says, “Violations of Open Meetings Law. Talks abusively to people. Abusive to employees. Telling people from outside businesses that they are not allowed to talk to Village Clerk and other Village Board Members.”
Wagner’s official response statement says, “To my knowledge I have followed the open meeting laws. I have never spoken abusively to any employee or member of the public, nor have I directed anyone to not speak to the village clerk or any board members, and request proof of all allegations.
An all-mail special election was held.
The York County Clerk’s office says 125 ballots were received. Of those, 77 voters said yes to the recall, with 47 saying no.
