Oregon: Petitions taken out against two Klamath County Commissioners

Petition were taken out against three Klamath County Commissioners, Tom Mallams, Jim Bellet and Dennis Linthicum (the last taken out in May), due to their selection of Cascade Comprehensive Care as CCO for Klamath County. The health organizations have been a source of contention in the state and it seems that Cascade was the only applicant for the CCO contract. Petitioners need about 3500 signatures in 90 days.

The last successful commissioner recall in Klamath County took place in 1996, when commissioners David Henzel and Clif McMillan were voted out of office.
