GROVES — A Groves man who launched a petition drive to recall Groves Councilman Cross Coburn has until Monday to fix any insufficiencies in the petition.

William Howlett set out earlier this month to collect signatures from at least 893 Groves registered voters —10 percent of the number of voters registered in the last election. He submitted the signatures, which were then checked by Groves City Clerk Kim Lowery and the voter registration office. Neither Lowery nor Howlett have said how many signatures were collected.

The petition was returned to Howlett to correct any insufficiencies and he has until June 11 to return the corrected documentation to Lowery.

At this time, Lowery said, the petition will either be certified or deemed insufficient at the June 25 council meeting.

In a June 1 story, Coburn’s attorney Jill Pierce said she noticed some issues with the signatures, such as people who appeared to live outside Groves signing the petition as well as some without voter registration numbers.

Coburn came under fire after partially nude and nude photos taken from Grindr, a gay networking/dating app, were sent to City Hall and to local media anonymously and attributed to Coburn, asking if this was proper behavior for a city councilman. The photos were part of a private conversation between Coburn and another person, Coburn said.

Groves resident William Howlett penned the petition to recall Coburn, 19, saying Coburn’s actions are unbecoming of a pubic official, compromise the integrity of the office and fracture the trust of the citizens.
