District 4 recount, recounted
Wednesday, January 7, 2015 by Elizabeth Pagano
After several hours and thousands of dollars spent, a recount of the votes in District 4 found the same results to those on election night. The recount was over in time for City Council Member Greg Casar to be sworn in to office along with his colleagues. Because the totals were the same, Council did not canvass the results of the recount. Laura Pressley, who initiated and paid for the recount, has indicated that she is not satisfied with the results. Pressley will be refunded about half of her $13,600 recount deposit.
