Whitehall mayor, 2 councilors retain seats after tight recall vote

Whitehall residents voted to retain Mayor Michael Bivens and two City Council members in a recall election, with about 50% support for each candidate. The results, still awaiting certification, mark the first time a sitting mayor in Whitehall faced a recall attempt. The effort was launched by a local group, amid claims of racial motivation and allegations of corruption, but ultimately failed. The city charter prohibits another recall for one year, with officials up for reelection shortly thereafter.
