## Recall proponent arguments[edit]

The leader of the recall, JoAnn Atkins, targeted McCoy for a number of reasons. Among them were: allegedly using his position as mayor to identify land that was headed for sale due to unpaid taxes, a city council vote forcing her to remove an improperly placed mobile home in 2009 and the closing of her business Superior Event Hall in 2014. Although Atkins could not vote in the recall or sign the petition because she lived outside of the city's limits, she stated that she had a say in city affairs because she owned a business there.[1]

## Path to the ballot[edit]

A recall petition against McCoy was filed in October 2014. Supporters needed to submit signatures equal to one third of the city's 3,016 registered voters at the time of filing. They had 180 days to turn in the 1,006 signatures.[1]
