Recall bid against two Fairfax town officials qualifies for ballot, election date to be set

The fate of two elected officials in a Marin County town is now in the hands of voters after separate recall petitions garnered enough signatures to place their removals on the ballot.

The Marin County Department of Elections verified signatures from more than 25% of registered voters — which is 1,479 voters in Fairfax — on petitions to recall Fairfax Mayor Lisel Blash and Vice Mayor Stephanie Hellman, the county said.
