Daily "A" Op-Ed:Yes On Lee Recall

Yes On Lee Recall

Richard Lee has served himself more than he’s served the county’s votersRecalling an official from elective office is an extreme remedy.

In the last 20 years, Clatsop County voters removed a district attorney in 1994 and Astoria voters removed a city councillor in 1996.

A 2004 recall directed at four members of the Astoria School board failed.
