[Vision2020] The Recall

[Carl Westberg]

Putting my toe, with some trepidation, into these waters, I think John has a 
valid point.  I don't think inflammatory language serves any good purpose in 
Moscow's latest controversy.  For the record, I support the three council 
members being targeted by Mr. Weitz, and I am not a member of MCA.  I'm an 
independent liberal reprobate.  The single overriding question I have is: 
who are these anonymous people behind the petition?  I don't know anyone who 
has a clue who, other than Mr. Weitz, is responsible for this effort, or how 
many there may be.  Perhaps, if they would come into the sunshine, identify 
themselves and their reasons for the recall petition, we'd get somewhere 
beyond suspicion and harmful rhetoric.
