Adams recall sprinting toward finish line

KFI radio personalities John Kobylt and Ken Chiampou and organizers of a recall Assemblyman Anthony Adams campaign rallied Thursday in Glendora for their last major event before they turn in their petitions.

The recall effort began in February after Adams, R-Claremont, voted alongside Democrats to support a state budget plan that included $13 billion in temporary tax hikes.

Adams had campaigned for office on a promise to not raise taxes. So far, the campaign collected 52,000 signatures - well beyond the 36,000 signatures needed by Oct. 13 to force a special recall election, according to the San Gabriel Valley Tribune.

If enough signatures are declared valid, organizers hope to force recall election sometime in January.

"I am elected to make votes and some of them are hard votes," Adams said. "I think that every politician has to stand to account for votes they cast and we have elections, primary and general, to decide those questions."
