Picture This: Recall petition effort at City Park
A sign directs residents to Shelter 9 in Parkersburg City Park, for the effort to gather signatures for recall petitions for Mayor Tom Joyce and some members of City Council. Parkersburg resident Brian Hayden said the effort has been “hands-off,” with mostly social media outreach. “We’re grassroots because that’s all we have,” he said during the effort Sunday. Hayden also noted the recall effort was the result of what he described as Joyce and some council members “trying to institute things outside moral, ethical and legal responsibility.” (Photo by Christina Myer)

Some critics of Joyce and the members of City Council they see as supporting his agenda have mounted the recall effort in response to the controversy over contracting out the city's trash service and claims of a lack of transparency.
