Alderman MatiChek, who was close with Ryan, took out papers for a recall. However, those papers never materialized. Instead, new papers were taken out for the recall by Mary Jo Stoelb days later. The recall signatures needed to be turned in on November 1, 2011.
The group (few as there were) collected 4,723 signatures, but only needed 4,121. The clerk has the papers and must now go through the verification process.
The problem with the signatures may come to light. A forum at the local Sheboygan Press found many people saying that they had signed the petition more than once. Some signed different names. These people didn’t want to recall the mayor, but they wanted to mess with the process.
Mayor Bob Ryan has the right to do his own verification process, which he has asked to do. Between the clerk and Ryan, they may find some unusual signatures that will not qualify for the count.
Whichever way the counting goes, there are candidates taking out papers to run for the Mayor of Sheboygan.
