A Second Recall Attempt?

Coeur d'Alene City Clerk Susan Weathers sent this "Heads Up" message to Mayor Sandi Bloem and the City Council last Friday: "RECALL INQUERIES MADE:  This morning I had a group of people meet with me to ask the process for recalling Councilman Edinger, Gookin and Adams.  I provided them with a copy of the Idaho code. They  wanted me to pass along the reason that they are looking at recalling the three remaining councilmen, among other things, is due to their not listening to their needs and wants."

DFO: I wouldn't endorse a recall effort of Ron Edinger, who's missing in action while his long-time council colleagues are being thrown under the bus, or Steve Adams and Dan "Make Me Mayor" Gookin, who are pretending to be neutral in the recall effort. We already have enough nastiness by individuals who have been trashing properly elected officials (Dan English & Mike Kennedy) for years.

Thoughts?
