In re Recall of Sun (Majority)
Annotate this Case
Less than one year after Mayor Cy Sun took office, Donald Thomson started a recall petition alleging numerous acts of misfeasance and malfeasance, and violation of the oath of office. The superior court found two charges adequate for submission to voters, namely, that Sun attempted to use the city police department as his own personal police force and that Sun's actions jeopardized the city's liability insurance coverage. Sun appealed the superior court order finding these charges sufficient. Also at issue was Thomson's cross appeal asking the court to reinstate several charges that the superior court found insufficient. Finding no error or abuse of discretion, the Supreme Court affirmed the trial court in all respects.
