Right to recall elected officials? YES!
Read today’s (Sunday’s) editorial in the Chicago Tribune and vote online at www.chicagotribune.com
Should Illinois voters have the right to recall elected officials? Absolutely! The Trib says that 18 other states permit this. EVERY state should permit it. Once politicians show their true colors, voters should be able to grab the broom and sweep them out.
For my money, Blago deserves the boot because 1) he refused to move to the State Capital, Springfield and 2) he wastes huge amounts of money commuting to Springfield.
Any money spent for commuting (transportation to/from airports, security personnel, State aircraft to/from Springfield, meals, etc.) should be chargeable to him personally and should be taxable income to him. Better yet, it ought to come out of his pay!
And let it apply to all elected officials, including mayors and sheriffs.

What gus did someone show you up so you had to remove the writtings about the Woodstock Police Department doing the seat belt checks.

That's right! We need to recall the Sheriff because he put a "bounty" out on Gus' head! [balance of Comment was deleted]
Hey, I have never said it was the Sheriff who offered the "bounty", but I do have the name of the command person who did.
By the way, should I have been insulted because it was only $100 bounty?
no you shouldn't. We should be. It should have been $100.00 an ear.
Let's start with presidents and vice presidents.
