MAHWAH, N.J. – A group of Mahwah voters is set on petitioning for the recall of Mayor William Laforet for the second time in his seven-year tenure.
“Our committee represents a large group of Mahwah residents that believe Mayor William Laforet should not be allowed to remain in office. We are confident that this recall effort will succeed,” said Vincent Maiello, chairperson of the Committee to Recall Mayor William Laforet.
Maiello said Laforet’s “Profound lack of leadership” prompted the latest recall effort.
The recall committee submitted to the township clerk a letter of intent to circulate the recall petition on Jan. 8, and Laforet was served the letter on Jan. 11.
