I know a local elected official who confides that not a day goes by that he does not receive an email from an irate constituent demanding satisfaction on some issue on which they are about 25% informed (on a good day), and stating that they will hold the official accountable with a recall from office. This official confides that if ANY of these folks had been serious he would have now be subjected to 420 recall efforts, rather than the current tally of none.
Recently after the City Council vote on campaign contributions to secure their incumbency for life, several commenters on this board (and by several I mean three) volunteered to sign up for an effort to remove the offending city council members by recall. So I am wondering what they are waiting for.
Under state law and Santa Clarita ordinance, a council member can be served with a notice of recall after serving 90 days in that office with the signature of 20 registered voters. The 90th day past the election was July 12. We are now ten days past that day. Where is the recall effort against the four offending council members, other than the sainted Bob Kellar?
