A hearing in the lawsuit filed by 3rd Ward residents seeking to recall Ald. Freeman Bosley, Sr. is currently in progress.
As we reported earlier, the recallers sued the St. Louis Board of Elections to stop them from allowing more signatures to be removed from their recall petition and to have a judge order that previously removed signatures be returned.
On June 30, Citizens to Recall Aldermen Bosley turned in approximately 1,100 signatures to the Board. Bosley was subsequently successful in getting 339 people who had originally signed the recall petition to then sign an affidavit asking for their names to be removed.
The recallers claim that since such an allowance for removal is nowhere in the City's charter -- which outlines the recall procedure -- that the Election Board "exceeded the scope of power delegated to it" by allowing it and therefore violated the civil rights of the recallers.

Oh my no one is interested in this issue. Get rid of the old many and that shameful son of his.
