BAKERSFIELD, Calif. -- In a meeting that was supposed to be dominated by public comment on a Target at the Shops at Riverwalk, the real target was City Councilman Ken Weir.

Weir was served with a recall notice during the meeting by Willard Winn, a leader of the recall effort in Ward 3.

This comes just two weeks after Weir tried to oust Planning Commissioner Russell Johnson. Weir said the controversy began over the battle between eminent domain and property rights.

Residents must gather more than 4,000 signatures to have the recall vote placed on the November ballot.
