Too much time was said to have passed in an article online titled Judge rules no recall election possible until 2010, Point Beach clerk exceeded authority. The recall attempt was based on a petition. Foster ruled that by invalidating some signatures and removing others after the filing of the petition Borough Clerk Maryann Ellsworth exceeded her authority. The earliest possible recall election would be November 2010.
