‘Toss Ross’ recall petition clears state hurdle

Posted: Updated:
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

The Nevada Secretary of State says a petition to recall Las Vegas Ward 6 Councilman Steve Ross has met the minimum number of signatures required, setting up a possible special election early next year.

Ross has a right to file a legal challenge against his opponents, who have created a website dubbed "Toss Ross" and gathered 1,050 valid signatures for the petition. That's more than the 1,084 signatures required.

The Las Vegas City Clerk must call for a recall election in the next 20 days, and the election would take place within 30 days of that decision.

FOX5 wants to know what you think about the recall effort. Should Steve Ross be voted off the city council?
