Final nail in the coffin for California oil boomtown’s council that overruled its own recall

The four Avenal City Council members who refused to leave office after voters overwhelmingly recalled them will finally step down following a court ruling upholding the election results. Mayor Alvaro Preciado and councilmembers Leticia Gamez, David Reynosa and Pablo Hernandez had remained in office despite the April recall, arguing that Kings County officials did not have the authority to administer the election. The council later voted to reject the results and keep the four members in their seats.
