• Mayor Hazel Supports The Four Council Members In Recall Petition Attempt
• Celina City Council Recall Petition Process Update

The four council memebers who voted down a proposed abortion ban and sanctuary city ordinance last month in Celina were the subjects in the recall, include two Republicans Mike Sovinski and Myron Buxton and two Democrats Eric Lochtefeld and June Scott.

Mercer County Board of Elections Director Kristi Rable said the ruling was based on a December 3rd opinion by the Mercer County Prosecutors Office to deny the petitions.
