Recall Ray Nagin petition?
The group Children of The Sky has started a recall effort of New Orleans Mayor
Ray Nagin ,they plan on submitting their petition to the Secretary Of State
to remove New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin from office before the 2010 election.They
seem to have a grass roots campaign going that uses INTERNET web 2.0
technology to get the word out.It looks like their petition is spreading all over the
INTERNET very fast.Prior attempts to oust the 2 term mayor from office have failed
either because of lack of interest or not enough votes.The groups
spokesperson says they only need 5000 votes before they take it to New
Orleans City Council and then Secretary of State to be ratified and voted on
publicly.Stranger things have happened will will see.
The group cites problems in the mayor's technology and other ethics violations
by the mayor as their reason for starting petition."We want to act before Ray Nagin gets out of office and little can be done"
they said .Sign petition.
Comments
While I understand the anger over the email fiasco and certainly acknowledge the dysfunctional relationship between the mayor and the City Council, a recall effort seems like political grandstanding and I doubt it's a genuine "grassroots effort." If pursued, what a waste of tax payer money on a lame duck mayor, and an unnecessarily divisive action that will cause more harm than good at this late hour.
