A2: Gov. Snyder Recall

The Detroit News reports that the Washtenaw County board of election commissioners, on a 2-to-1 vote at an April 9 hearing, approved language for a recall petition against Gov. Rick Snyder. This is the second time that recall language has been proposed and approved – commissioners took a 2-to-1 vote in August 2011, approving petition language for a Snyder recall. In that case, county treasurer Catherine McClary cast the dissenting vote, with Donald E. Shelton, chief judge of the Washtenaw County Trial Court, and county clerk Larry Kestenbaum in support. On Monday, Kestenbaum dissented. The previous recall drive, backed by the same group that’s initiating the new recall attempt, failed to collect a sufficient number of signatures to put the issue on the ballot. [Source]
