Where's the Recall Mayor Tony Campaign?

| | Comments (0) |

With much media fanfare, the usual coterie of Mayor Tony loathers launched a recall petition against Mayor Tony some weeks ago. It disappeared faster than a speck of dirt in a Hurricane. Where'd it and they go? One would think that with the load of dirt that's piling up at Tony's door, they'd be going full blast. The stuff in the Mayor's dirt pile is by now well known. His obsessive penchant for grabbing at every ticket freebie in creation, then not reporting it, squandering thousands of tax dollars on globetrotting fun and game trips, smiling face photo-op management, a costly, wasteful and ultimately muddled effort at the LAUSD takeover, featherbedding jobs and plum positions to the unions even as revenues shrunk, a bungled effort to get the DWP to pay its fair share, foisting dubious tax hikes and even more dubious reasons for and use of the money on residents, mounting layoffs, service cuts, and a deficit that continues to lift faster than a runaway helium balloon.

This should be the heaven sent chance that the recall folk need to get thousands of mad as hell L.A. voters to scratch their John and Jane Hancock on a recall Mayor Tony petition. And there's absolutely no doubt that they would, IF, and this is the beguiling, puzzling IF, they could find the darn petitions. Question then is what happened to the recall Mayor Tony campaign now that thousands say its badly need it?
