Over the long weekend citizens lined up at multiple locations around the city to add their names to a petition aimed at forcing a recall election for New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell.
Signing events were staged Saturday in Carrollton, Algiers and New Orleans East, with more events Sunday in Mid-City and Lakeview, according to the website nolatoya.org.
The petition drive was registered Aug. 26 with the Louisiana Secretary of State’s office.
According to state law, organizers have until Feb. 22 to get nearly 54,000 signatures from registered Orleans Parish voters.
