In re Recall of O'Neil

Summary

The Washington Supreme Court affirmed orders allowing three recall petitions to proceed on charges alleging retaliation against Port employees, and allowing an additional nondisclosure charge against one commissioner. Applying de novo review to the petitions on their face, the court held that the allegations and supporting materials were factually and legally sufficient, while declining to review an unappealed charge. The court also denied or partially granted motions to strike as specified in its conclusion.
