The Arguement For Recall
Proponents of the recall maintain that it provides a way for citizens to retain control over elected officials who are not representing the best interests of their constituents, or who are unresponsive or incompetent. This view holds that an elected representative is an agent, a servant and not a master.
The Arguement Against Recall
Opponents argue that it can lead to an excess of democracy, that the threat of a recall election lessens the independence of elected officials, that it undermines the principle of electing good officials and giving them a chance to govern until the next election, and that it can lead to abuses by well-financed special interest groups.

This is another poll by Patrick McGee, the person who admitted to Tom Freel that his polls were bogus. Why does he continue to do these? Does he really think we are this stupid? Why should anyone believe anything he says?
McGee fancies himself as a "power broker" and one of those people who believes if you repeat the same lie over and over again it becomes truth. So sad what has happened to our beloved community when all these shysters decided they should move here and screw it all up for the rest of us.
