In Port Huron, recall efforts are targeting Council Members Sherry Archibald and Teri Lamb after their votes changed how the public can speak at city meetings. The petitions cleared a clarity hearing on March 6, meaning signature drives can begin. The changes separate local and non-local speakers and set sign-up rules for public comment. Archibald and Lamb both say they won’t appeal the decision— Organizers have until July 31 to gather 2,427 valid signatures to make the November ballot.
