ST. TAMMANY PARISH, La. — Jean Cefalu walked outside the Secretary of State’s office in Baton Rouge Tuesday and became the first person to sign her name to a recall petition.

“We have been waiting and planning,” said Cefalu. “It’s been very busy, but we’re excited to get this show on the road.”

After filing the necessary paperwork, organizers and volunteers with Family First St. Tammany can now start collecting signatures to try to remove Dr. Christoper Tape as the parish coroner.

“The recall is on, and we will be recalling him,” said Cefalu, who is also the co-chair of Family First St. Tammany.
