EWUA Director Carol Anderson, along with a hundred others, is seeking the recall of Jim Nelson, Teri Nigretto, Mike Cleveland, and Leith Templin. Anderson set up a booth at the Farmers Market to help answer questions people might have about why the recall is happening.
Carol Anderson reports – “Leith Templin and her dog were our first visitors. She quickly called Teri Nigretto. They complained that we were a political group and should not be allowed to have a booth at the market. First, we were asked to take our documents off the table. Teri and Leith stood by the table and stopped people from talking to us.”
Templin is wrong about Farmer’s Market policy on who can exhibit. It was disclosed to the Farmer’s Market coordinator that this was an educational booth there for the purpose of sharing about the recall effort mounted against some of the EWUA Directors.

RecallWater was in compliance with the policy and was permitted to have a booth. Templin and Nigretto, who are both targets of the recall, did not want people to interact with those seeking their removal. Templin and Nigretto wrongly interfered with the people’s right to freely express their opinions and for the listener to hear without being harassed and bullied.
