MULLAN, Idaho - An on going effort by some people in Mullan to recall Mayor Mike Dunnigan and
one of it's city councilmen Dan White came
up short Tuesday night. There were 74 votes to recall Dunnigan however there
were 193 to keep him in office. As for Dan White there were 78 votes for the
recall and 179 against.
The recall
effort began late in 2012 after some city residents accused Dunnigan and White
of "Misappropriating Funds". An allegation Dunnigan denied to KHQ. Tensions
boiled over between Dunnigan and Mullan resident Jeff Bergstrom in August of
2012. Bergstrom spearheaded the recall effort. Bergstrom posted a video to
YouTube showing Dunnigan shouting expletives at him after Bergstrom confronted
Dunnigan with the allegations.
Dunnigan has
since apologized for his "outburst" in a letter sent to Mullan city residents.
He previously told KHQ that the video was "not his finest moment". Shoshone
County officials still need to make the vote official on
Wednesday.
