A legal dispute over vote counting is now central to efforts to remove L.C. Jones from office.
Attorney Mark Krudys argues state law requires petitioners to gather signatures equal to 10% of all votes cast in the 2024 council election, or 1,179 signatures — far more than the 401 certified.
Petitioners contend the threshold should be based on votes tied to Jones’ seat, lowering the requirement to about 190 signatures.
The next hearing is set for Friday.
