North Slope Borough voters have voted in favor of recalling Borough Mayor Charlotte Brower.

More than 62 percent of the voters supported removing Brower from office in a Tuesday recall election.

The mayor had been penalized by the APOC for campaign finance violations, and has been criticized for spending Borough funds on family trips, including sending her grandchildren to basket ball camp.
