I’m not a big fan of recalls aimed at political figures unless the acts they’ve committed are so shocking that you can’t wait till the next election.  Mayor Sam Adams comes to mind but in his case, two recalls didn’t remove him.  Go Figure.  

Now the citizens of Clackamas County have been informed that even though they vote in less than three weeks on the question of tens of millions of dollars in funding for light rail they don’t want, the county commission plans to take the decision away from them before the vote is even held.   

Here’s what we know:

Voters will case ballots in mid September. The county commissioners figure voters will easily say “no” to funding, so the commissioners arranged to sell bonds and pay the bill before the voters cast ballots. These commissioners should face a recall over something this big, this expensive, and for spitting in the face of citizens and voters.  

Government in every corner of this country has been behaving like a bully; shaking down the people it’s supposed to be serving. 

The voters should let them know who’s boss...
