Duck and run

Now, here's something that should come as no surprise: Councilman Jack Weiss doesn't want to be served with papers to recall him.

Supporters of the recall effort complained Thurday that Wily Weiss is refusing to accept service of the notice of his recall, making it more difficult for them to start their effort.

What did they expect?

To recall supporters, Weiss' behavior is validating their claims that he "displays disdain for his constituents."

The group said a process server was rebuffed by a Weiss secretary when they went to his office, and was told the councilman would not meet with him.

"The server suggested to Weiss's secretary that it would be better for the councilman to receive these documents in the privacy of his own office, rather than be confronted at a public meeting or event, but it was to no avail," the recall organizers said in a statement.
