Recall Successful:  St. Francis Has New Mayor

St. Francis Mayor CoryAnn St. Marie-Carls has been ousted in a special recall election held Tuesday in the Milwaukee suburb.  Alderman Ken Tutaj received 11-hundred-75 votes, compared to 789 for the mayor.  A little less than 40 percent of voters went to the polls.  Tutaj claimed he saw government dysfunction first-hand.  He said he witnessed Mayor St. Marie-Carls screaming at city staff.  The former mayor said she did ask city employees tough questions, like any mayor.  A private citizen got the recall question on the ballot by collecting more than 12-hundred signatures, accusing the mayor of “unprofessional behavior unbecoming of an elected official.”
