Regarding Tilmant, organizers said that, though he is relatively new to the city council, he had gone against his campaign promises to prioritize safety and listen to residents.Neither Tilmant nor Dittenber has commented on the cancelled recall.This latest recall attempt follows a broader effort last year that sought to remove Caldwell Mayor Jarom Wagoner and four city councilmembers, including Dittenber.RELATED | Residents in Caldwell launch recall efforts against Mayor and four city council membersFor Canyon County happenings, news, and more join our Facebook Group: 2C Neighborhood News - Nampa, Caldwell, Middleton
