District attorney reviews Hutchinson council recall draft

The district attorney is reviewing a draft recall effort aimed at a member of the Hutchinson City Council.

What is happening

The recall document is in draft form and is being reviewed by the district attorney. That review places the proposal with the county’s chief prosecutor before any next step in the recall process is established.

What is not established

The council member’s name, the reasons stated in the draft and any decision by election officials are not identified. The draft’s review should not be treated as a completed recall petition or as a decision to remove the council member.

What comes next

The district attorney’s review is the immediate development. Any later action would determine whether the effort moves beyond the draft stage and what formal steps, if any, follow.
