A movement to recall three Shasta County supervisors has raised about $20,000, according to a review of electronic campaign disclosure filings. But a supervisor who supports the recall says the most recent fundraising efforts hauled in double that figure.
District 4 Supervisor Patrick Jones was the co-master of ceremonies for an April 10 recall fundraiser at the Veterans of Foreign Wars Hall in Anderson.
The event happened four days after recall notices were served to District 1 Supervisor Joe Chimenti, District 2 Supervisor Leonard Moty and District 3 Supervisor Mary Rickert at the April 6 Board of Supervisors meeting.
Recall proponents believe the three supervisors have violated the constitution by not protecting their rights in large part because they ve followed state and local COVID-19 health guidelines.
