Recalling
As Scoop noted earlier, The Simkins PAC is critical of Greensboro recall law.
So, just by way of completing the record:
Rep. Earl Jones, a member of the PAC, has authored and successfully shepherded through the House a bill to create a recall election in Pleasant Garden. The bill now goes to the Senate.
I wonder if he didn't get the memo?
To be fair, the Pleasant Garden measure seems a little more stringent. From the bill:
To be sufficient, a recall petition must bear the signatures of at least thirty-three percent (33%) of the registered voters of the Town as shown by the registration records of the last preceding general municipal election.

Would it be much more fair if the only people who could vote in a recall election were the people who voted in the election that put the official into office?
If you didn't care enough to vote, should you have the ability to recall the winner of the election? I think not.
PS: May I just type shrub in the box below?
