Springtime is almost here and the politicos are feeling frisky. Word around the campfire is that there is one, last, SERIOUS attempt to get a recall initiative on the ballot . . . From what I hear the hardest part, will be getting the signatures. If the folks behind this effort can get that done the vote against Mayor Funky will come off easier than Gloria Squitiro's slippers at City Hall.
Facts (from what I've heard):
With the Mayor so marginalized, I doubt there will be a lot of popular resistance to getting him out of office and people are always pissed off at politicos when they're broke . . . It's really more of a logistical endeavor at this point. The only question: Do the people behind this effort have enough cash or volunteers to get more than 17k signatures in a month? It's not impossible, but certainly very difficult. Very smart people have told me that the risk is . . . If Mayor Funky survives it, it could make him seem somewhat stronger. But, with his wife telling him to shut up in public all the time . . . I'm not certain that's correct.

ReplyDeleteI'd say he's pretty safe.
LOLZ.
The crony capitalists and their tools can do about anything if they chose to. But since they have already milked the city dry they might just wait for better days.
ReplyDeleteMark will surprise you all once again. He is not only a brilliant man, but he has retained expert political and advertising advice.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mark beats back the recall, his reelection is assured.

Forget the signatures and billboards. Don't take any of this talk seriously until you see the recall language. The petition will have to list the cause for recall, and that has to be a reason that reasonable people agree makes it impossible for him to continue (I can vouch for the reasonable people part, can't remember the exact legal standard for the rest other than it's tough to meet).
ReplyDeleteIf Funk loses a recall election, you can bet your ass he's going to sue over the results. And then all that money time and sigs/votes can go out the window if the recall language doesn't pass muster. I'm guessing "his wife is a crazy bitch" would not.

ReplyDeleteWith the last mayor making charter change efforts until they finally passed, the effort to recall is now more difficult. Having said that, if recall is what is needed now to get Mark and Gloria back to just being that crazy couple down the street. I will sign the petition and help get signatures. The public can then vote its will. On with the big show. Democracy in action.
ReplyDeleteRemove him from office through a finding of nepotism and not recall.
ReplyDeleteJust get him out whether by recall or prosecution or judicial decree. Free us now.
ReplyDeleteIf there is a legitimate attempt to recall the mayor, "Total Recall" will be launched, which will entail recalling ALL of city council. Funkhouser isn't without problems, but they are only made worse by members of the council, the media, and obnoxious bloggers. We don't need to waste any more money on this shit. We'll have a chance to elect someone else in a few years.
ReplyDeleteelBryan has a berry good point.
ReplyDelete"Mark will surprise you all once again. He is not only a brilliant man, but he has retained expert political and advertising advice."
ReplyDeleteHi, Gloria!
IF you want a continuation of Funkhoser, then vote for Riederer. Both indivicuals are self-centered and corrupt.
ReplyDeleteRecall recall they are planning and getting ready and Funky knows who they are.
