WEST RECALL

Citizens for Responsible Government (CRG) has looked at the pros and cons of supporting the John West recall effort. Although CRG is committed to staying neutral in elections so its members can provide unbiased information to voters about candidates, the non-partisan recall effort has been determined to be justified. Commissioner John West’s misinterpretations of state statutes have been damaging to the county, unnecessarily hurtful to many of his constituents, ignoring the will of voters and if left to serve out his term for another two years he is likely to do much more harm, especially if he uses his money to get like-minded people elected to the Board.

CRG encourages all to volunteer to collect the signatures needed to get the recall on a special election ballot. Close to 7000 signatures are needed by October 30th. Learn more on the recall website www.recalljohnwest.com -- and volunteer there.
