The Secretary of State's office confirmed Thursday the petition to hold a recall election for Eugene-area state representative Paul Holvey after garnering 5,055

Note that this doesn't mean he's been recalled, just that there are enough signatures to require a recall vote.

This whole thing seems dumb and petty and a waste of the union's resources. None of the other union's contributed to the recall campaign effort because they apparently didn't think it was worth doing. I can't even find a good list of specific, sourced claims as to what they are mad about. Their claims, when they make them are vague and fall apart pretty quickly upon further inspection.

If I were in this union I would be pissed.

That's basically how I feel. My first instinct is to stand with unions by default, but in this case I'm genuinely unsure what they're even upset about.
