SAN LUIS, Ariz. (KYMA) - The petition to recall San Luis, Arizona Mayor Nieves Riedel has been withdrawn.

According to San Luis City Council member Lizeth Servin, they didn't want to confuse the community regarding the dates as there had been a technical change.

Servin also said it didn't seem wise to spend $65,000 to $75,000 on a recall.

"Twice the number of signatures needed had been collected, but the reason the impeachment process didn't go forward was simply due to a technicality," Servin explained.

This initiative generated a community debate, mobilizing both those who wanted change and those who wanted the current government to stay.
