From the News Desk of Tom Mongelli:

Opponents of Mayor Ron Jones in Beachwood are in the midst of a 10-day window to challenge the Borough Clerk's decision on their petitions to recall the Mayor from office. The disqualification of 176 signatures leaves them short of the required number to place the question before voters in November. If they don't succeed, organizers say they'll aim for a special election - which involves extra expense.
