Recall?

ShoreThings has posted a rebuttal to Mr. Duval’s post this week about whether or not a recall of certain Salisbury officials is legal. ShoreThings is absolutely correct. A recall is definitely legal. The question - is it politically feasible?

The answer is YES! If citizens want to organize a recall petition I would put together a double.

1. Move for the recall of Louise Smith and Gary Comegys. Don’t worry about either Barrie Tilghman or Shanie Shields. They are both up for re-election in 2009 and should be pluckable. Any effort made in District 1 should focus on identifying and recruiting a smart and responsible candidate in the vein of Wicomico County Councilwoman Sheree Sample-Hughes.
2. Start after Labor Day. You then have 90 days to gather the signatures of 30% of the registered voters in District 2. Ironically this would be over twice the number of people who voted to put Princess Louise and Gary in office. People’s vacations are over and the probability of getting your signatures rises exponentially.
