[Vision2020] recall petition

[Tom Hansen]

It is really quite simple.

 

Give an anonymous petition the respect and acknowledgement it so rightfully
deserves.  NONE.

 

These anonymous businesses have not matured beyond the “Ding Dong Ditch It”
stage of their immature youth.

 

I vote for candidates who have backbones and whose concepts I agree with.  I
apply this very same creed to petitions I support.

 

Take care,

 

Tom “I am” Hansen

 

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.  But a true friend will be
sitting next to you saying, "Damn . . . that was fun!"

There were enough people in Moscow who were dissatisfied with the decisions
the previous council was making that they worked within our constitutional
system to a change our leadership by electing Chaney, Dickinson, and Pall.
Now an unnamed group of "business owners" are demanding a recall of those
individuals. 

Why? Supposedly because they disagree with ONE decision the current council
made as part of the job they were elected to do.

All without having to put their names on the line.

Is this the democracy people are dying to establish in Iraq?

    Gerald Weitz, spokesperson for a group of local business owners who plan
to remain anonymous, is now selling some especially sleazy snakeoil.  Weitz
is collecting signatures on a recall petition, hoping to drive John
Dickinson, Linda Pall and Nancy Chaney off the Moscow City Council (Daily
News front page, Dec. 23).
    Weitz is angry since these three council members are thoughtfully
examining development plans, seeking the community's best interest and
hoping to maintain our quality of life, instead of rubberstamping any
project like previous council members did.
    Weitz is very angry, and the irrationality of his position was clearly
revealed in his overblown rhetoric.  For example, in the article, Weitz was
quoted as saying in reference to the three council members, "We will crush
them." 
    That level of irrational anger is the driving power behind this
petition.  Some local business interests, who have enjoyed years of
virtually no oversight by Moscow city staff or council members, are very
upset that their goal of more profit, more houses, more roads, more of
everything is now receiving some scrutiny by our council representatives.
So, they are venting their anger through this recall petition.
    If you care about the quality of life in Moscow, don't sign this
petition.
