Seattle<\/a>\u00a0Mayor Jenny Durkan asked the state Supreme Court to reverse the decision of a King County circuit court\u00a0judge that\u00a0allowed a recall effort to move forward against her, which could result in her expulsion from office.<\/p>\n

Durkan, a Democrat<\/a>, was called out by five Seattle residents who filed a petition seeking to recall her because of how law enforcement officials have responded to protests this summer, according<\/a> to The Seattle Times.<\/p>\n

Durkan reportedly asked the circuit court judge to reconsider the decision, but the request was denied.<\/p>\n

OUTGOING SEATTLE POLICE CHIEF SAYS IT’S NOT ABOUT MONEY, BUT ‘LACK OF RESPECT’ FOR OFFICERS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The state\u2019s highest court is now being asked to render judgment after a notice of appeal was filed on Wednesday, The Times reported.<\/p>\n

The petitioners in turn asked\u00a0the state Supreme Court to\u00a0reconsider<\/a>\u00a0two of the charges the judge initially\u00a0dismissed and to broaden their original\u00a0charges against Durkan.<\/p>\n

This comes just one day after\u00a0Seattle Police Chief<\/a>\u00a0Carmen Best announced her resignation<\/a>, saying that she was not leaving\u00a0because of pay cuts to her\u00a0department<\/a>, but rather because of the \u201clack of respect\u201d toward\u00a0her fellow officers.<\/p>\n

Best\u2019s resignation comes amid the City Council\u2019s decision to\u00a0reduce the department<\/a>\u00a0by as many as 100 officers through layoffs and attrition.<\/p>\n
