My compliments to Rodger Painter for his recent letter upping the ante for Gov. Mike Dunleavy’s recall. The governor’s initiatives to fund the ferry and educational systems and flat-fund other crucial services are far too little and too late and transparent to deter the recall effort, even though the campaign to remove him by the statewide signature-gathering event has been replaced by an alternative because of the virus lock-down.
The new procedures calls for a prospective voter to go online and request a booklet with directions for the recipient to use and certify the signature of only four other petitioners and return it in a self-addressed envelope within one week.
I can’t wait to get my booklet, and hope you feel the same way.
