A group looking to oust Los Angeles City Councilman Mike Bonin said Wednesday it has submitted more than 39,000 signatures in support of its recall measure — a number proponents believe is enough to qualify for the ballot. The city clerk will determine in the coming weeks whether those petitions have enough signatures to trigger a special recall election. Polhill recently signed the Bonin recall petition, saying she views this campaign as “a completely different situation.”Volunteers for a recall campaign to oust L.A. City Councilman Mike Bonin wheel signed petitions to a van in Venice Beach on Wednesday. The last time a recall campaign at City Hall qualified for the ballot was in 1984, according to City Archivist Michael Holland. If the Bonin recall qualifies for the ballot, the timing will be highly unusual.
