Morrow County recall

If you are a Morrow County voter who is not tired of elections, you are in luck. On Nov. 29, voters will be able to submit their ballots once again. This time, it will be to decide the fates of two of their three county commissioners.

Thanks to a petition, which accuses Jim Doherty and Melissa Lindsay of not doing a good job, voters will have the chance to recall the pair.

The latest issue of the Hermiston Herald explains this situation in a front-page story. This story includes the arguments for and against the commissioners.
