Recall opponents

Mayor Martin Hayes has asked voters to retain the board members. He has said, "I want to keep my board the way it is because they’ve stepped up and done a lot of work that I don’t have to and it's been working quite well."

Helmick-Winkelman has said, “The only real argument that’s ever been put out there and in public was that if there was not a female water operator, there would not be a recall.”
