Re: Impeachment
Hello. That's a good question. Whether a mayor
can be impeached will depend upon a municipality's ordinances. Certainly, there are
mechanisms within government that may be used
to force a mayor out of office. The best start
would probably be a lawsuit. This will get the
mayor's attention. Will be happy to answer any
questions you may have.
