(Portland, OR) -- A mother from Salem has launched a petition drive to recall the three members of the Salem-Keizer School Board who voted to ban concealed weapons on school grounds last month. Salem resident Casity Troutt filed the petitions to recall directors Osvaldo Avila, Ashley Carson Cottingham and Karina Guzman Ortiz. A fourth director -- Maria Hinojos Pressey -- also voted for the ban but she was not named in the recall effort. ln her petition, Troutt cited the concealed carry ban as well as opposition to a book ban and support of transgender-friendly policies as reasons for the recall.
