CORDOVA, AL (WBRC) -
Storm victims in Cordova continue to fight the city's decision to ban FEMA mobile homes.
People in the walker county town are now circulating a petition to recall Mayor Jack Scott. The petition is getting more and more signatures by the day.
Cordova residents are also turning to Facebook to try and energize the recall effort. They say if Mayor Jack Scott is not going to put the needs of residents first, then he should be removed from office.
Signs protesting the mayor's decision to ban temporary mobile homes can be found throughout city limits.
Mayor Scott says he is standing by a city ordinance that bans single wide mobile homes, including FEMA mobile homes from the city limits. He says the FEMA mobile homes will decrease property values and slow down the recovery effort overall.
Residents say they believe Mayor Scott should show more compassion during this tough time and they are frustrated.
Mayor Jack Scott was not available for comment. However, he has said several times over the last month that he is standing by his decision.
