As a supporter of clean, accountable government, I’m troubled by the prospect of no recalls
Via Althouse comes this. I’m also worried that the Wisconsin recall, which has drawn nationwide attention and money, will trigger a vicious cycle of partisan retribution. Your guy didn’t win in November? No problem. Start a recall drive now. Most of all, though, I fear that the recall threat will…
