Heather Donahue, actress known for 'The Blair Witch Project', faces a recall election in Freedom, Maine, where she serves on the Select Board.
The recall stems from a conflict over Beaver Ridge Road's ownership. Donahue, residing on the road, painted orange blazes on trees, allegedly in violation of town charter, despite claiming to be performing official duties.
Critics claim Donahue violated the town charter and acted in a personal capacity, while also pointing to her public statements calling the opposing lawsuit 'extortion' and 'peddling half-truths'.
Donahue maintains that her actions were at the direction of the town attorney, part of a formal assignment to investigate the road's ownership, and that she sought the position out of civic duty.
The town hearing showcased divided opinions. While some residents supported the recall citing unfair practices, others thanked Donahue for her service and work.
The recall vote is scheduled for April 23rd. The outcome remains uncertain, given the divided public sentiment and underlying land dispute.
