Can they do a recall vote and get rid of those council members?
Yes, however there is a high bar for getting it done: In Pennsylvania, the process for recalling elected officials, including county commissioners, is governed by the Pennsylvania Constitution and the Pennsylvania Election Code. According to these laws, a recall petition must be initiated by a certain percentage of registered voters in the affected jurisdiction (in this case, Bucks County).
The petition must specify the grounds for recall and be signed by at least 10% of the total number of voters who cast ballots in the last election for the office being recalled (or 25% of registered voters in the jurisdiction, whichever is less). If the petition meets these requirements, a recall election is held, and voters decide whether to remove the commissioner from office. (AI is good for somethings, I guess...)
This is the problem. We've let things become this bloated and convoluted. Shit likes this really needs a reset.
Agreed.
How about drawn and quartered?
