FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


“CITIZEN’S FOR A BETTER BUCKEYE” (CFABB) CONFIRMS THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF SIGNATURES NEEDED FOR THE RECALL OF COUNCILMAN MCACHRAN HAVE BEEN COLLECTED"
“Citizen’s for a better Buckeye choose to put Recall on hold temporarily.”


CFABB announced today that they have successfully collected more than the required (248) Recall petition signatures from the citizens of district one. However; as a result of the ongoing investigations being conducted by the Attorney Generals office and Maricopa County Attorneys office with regard to Councilman McAchran’s activities, CFABB has elected to suspend its recall activities for a period of six months. CFABB has noted that as a result of the Recall efforts, we found the Mayor and Council had suddenly become unified as well as learned the meaning of full compliance by abstaining from voting on agenda items which could be considered a conflict of interest.

As of today staff members of CFABB are working on several other areas of concern which need immediate attention due to the severity as well as the potential financial impact which could be imposed on the Citizens of Buckeye. As we further investigate these areas of concern we will keep all the Citizens of Buckeye informed through additional press releases and updates on our Blog http://buckeye-united.blogspot.com.

CFABB feels much progress has taken place over the last couple of months with the hiring of Chief Daniels, Interim Town Manager Stephen Cleveland and the sudden surge of home sales throughout Buckeye. Hopefully we have seen the worst and can now focus on moving forward in a positive manner.

As always we will continue to monitor all the activities and meetings of the Mayor and Council very closely. If we find that they revert back to their old ways and do not comply within the guidelines and laws for which they are bound to, we will once again take them to task on the behalf of the Citizens of Buckeye in all Districts.

In close, CFABB recognizes the overwhelming support for this recall from our neighbors. This could not be accomplished with out them. CFABB wants everyone to know how important it is for each citizen of this town to be involved as often as possible. We constantly are approached by citizens wanting to join CFABB and asking how they can help. Our answer is always the same, get involved, attend Council meetings, register / vote and most importantly get your neighbors involved also. The most important thing to remember is that we have appointed town officials as well as elected officials and since we are the tax payers it should be recognized that they work for us. Therefore when they are out of line we need to let them know when we are dissatisfied.
