Organizers of a recall campaign against Spokane Mayor Jim West say they think they have enough signatures to put the issue on the ballot, but they'll continue to gather more.
Stepped-up collection efforts during the Labor Day weekend pushed the total to the nearly 12,600 signatures needed, but organizers decided to wait to turn in petitions so they could have a cushion of several thousand more, spokeswoman Rita Amunrud said Tuesday.

"We're working on a buffer," she said. "We want to make sure there are enough valid signatures" when the petitions are submitted to Spokane County Auditor Vicky Dalton.
