Millbrae residents voted to recall Vice Mayor Maurice Goodman and Council Member Angelina Cahalan over a housing project, with 70% and 79% supporting recalls, respectively, reflecting a community divide.
The recall stemmed from the controversial La Quinta Inn and Suites project, a homeless housing initiative, sparking legal battles between the county and city, with differing views on local housing approvals.
Goodman expressed disappointment at the recall outcomes, concerned about the impact on leaders advocating for marginalized voices amid misinformation, while also acknowledging the engagement shown by the community.
The recall, driven by a volunteer group, showcased a community divided over the homeless housing project, highlighting ongoing tensions between local government and county efforts to address homelessness.
