Group Trying to Recall Bismarck Mayor

Papers have been filed with the Secretary of State to recall Bismarck Mayor Mike Seminary.

The petition was filed Wednesday afternoon. According to the petition, the mayor should be recalled for misplaced public leadership priorities, ignoring public infrastructure to the point of creating a public financing crisis and among other issues file in the petition including allowing city property to be sold at a loss and below market value.

If the petition is approved, a certain number of residents from Bismarck would have to sign the recall papers.

The Secretary of State has five to seven days to approve the petition.
