City moves closer to holding recall election

The city got one step closer to holding a recall election targeting four of its council members after a Superior Court judge’s ruling this week.

The four members of the Lynwood City Council had defied the county registrar-recorder’s determination that an election should take place and replaced the elected city clerk with a new election official.

But on Tuesday, Judge Robert O’Brien ordered the city to begin issuing nomination papers in preparation for a Sept. 25 recall. He is expected to give a final ruling in two weeks as to whether the election will take place.
