Grasty was the head of the Harney county government during the siege at Malheur. He showed himself to duplicitous in word and action and was one of those who wanted the FBI and other Fascist law enforcement agencies to strike and strike hard against the peaceful demonstrators at the refuge. This story was posted on Facebook by a highly principled Conservative and WA state legislative representative who was at Malheur. He states, "The people of Harney County are finally holding this lying, bully, tyrant accountable. He lied to my face and those of others and a man died as a result. Mr. Grasty betrayed the Constitution and the people of Harney County. He is the poster boy of the type of politicians destroying America."

A recall petition has been filed against Harney County commissioner Steve Grasty in the aftermath of the 41-day takeover of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge by armed militants earlier this year.

Petitioners say they gathered 566 signatures, the Oregon Secretary of State's Office reported Thursday. The valid signatures of 444 active registered Harney County voters are needed to force a recall election or compel his resignation. Grasty is the County Court judge -- not a judge in the traditional sense, but essentially chairman of the county commission.

If the petition is validated, Grasty will have to resign or submit a "statement of justification" that would be printed on the ballot. If Grasty chooses the latter, a recall election would be held within 35 days of the end of the resignation period.
