Background Information of John West and Recall:
John West campaigned to cut waste and make our county run
won his election by 57%. John West was elected to: reduce, streamline,
and make Josephine County government more efficient. As a taxpayer burdened by the excessive fees and tax levies, I am happy
to see these changes. Cleaning out the dead wood is a welcome positive move.

familiarize yourself with the facts, the content of the petition, and
the response to the recall petition. Here are several informative links
