In the vote on Tuesday, numbers from the Boone County Clerk’s office indicates the Recall Issue passed on a 282-91 vote.

The recall effort began over the summer as Miracle and the City Council had a number of disputes including the scheduling of City Council Meetings. According to information from the website “Ballotpedia”, City Recorder Tina Jackson stepped in as Mayor in July to fill a vacant council seat and override a number of vetoes that had been issued by Miracle.
