Channel 7 KATV and other statewide news sources have officially confirmed that the petition to remove Mayor Jackie Sikes from office has been certified and will appear on the November election ballot. The “We The Majority” movement has gathered widespread support, detailing serious allegations against Mayor Sikes.
These allegations are serious and confirmed by multiple sources, highlighting the need for a change in leadership in Fairfield Bay. Here are the key allegations against Mayor Sikes:
- Mayor Sikes has been accused of discouraging businesses from operating within city limits, claiming that it’s a “smart business move” to avoid paying city taxes.
- She allegedly blocked a million-dollar economic development project that would have brought significant revenue and improvements to the city’s marina area.
- Mayor Sikes participated in a protest against the Fairfield Bay Resort, the city’s largest employer, raising concerns about her commitment to the local economy.
- The city is facing a lawsuit due to its handling of the Moonshine Festival, which has generated the highest tax revenue weekends in Fairfield Bay’s history.
- In a disturbing display of retaliation, Mayor Sikes released secret recordings of a former employee, further eroding trust in her leadership.
The people of Fairfield Bay have had enough of the divisive and counterproductive actions of their mayor._RATE Jackie Sikes continues to deny culpability, even after the recall effort’s certification. This lack of accountability underscores the need for change.
