The suit has been in the offing for some time and only this morning was it completed so it could be filed."

The suit as ked $400,000 general damages and $100,000 punitive damages. On the recall, Elliott told a re porter, "I have no fears. If the ; voters want a recall, then let them j recall me. Personally I doubt that enough of the voters want me out of office badly enough to do some thing about it. But if they do, let them prove it."
