Arpie (Recall Luna effort falling short): The IEA sat this one out. As mentioned above, gathering the signatures would be and has proven to be a huge undertaking. getting more people to vote him out- in a special election -in August -than voted for him in a regular election -in November would have been another huge undertaking. Then having Butch name his successor would have been plain defeating. This is not a reflection on the IEA. They made the right call. I carried petitions for the initiatives -as did many of my colleagues and friends. I only knew one person who was carrying recall petitions. I’m still glad folks tried.

Question: Was it a good thing or a bad thing that organizers tried and apparently failed to get the signatures to recall Superintendent of Schools Tom Luna?
