Park Ridge school board recall is back on

Superior Court Judge Peter Geiger will allow a bid by Park Ridge voters to recall 20-year-old school board member Robert Fisher from office to proceed on November 4, overruling a decision by the Bergen County Clerk to invalidate petitions due to a technical error.

Organizers collected 2,141 signatures – more than the 1,864 needed to put the measure on the ballot – but they neglected to have the petitions notarized. That caused the county clerk, John Hogan, to reject the recall election.

But Geiger decided that petitions are not required to be notarized.

“This court will not disenfranchise the will of those voters,” he said of those who signed the Fisher recall petition.
