L.A. Residents Launch Recall of Mayor Eric Garcetti over Homelessness | Breitbart
I think this might actually happen. Not that long ago California successfully recalled Gov. Gray Davis. Even though this is a Los Angeles City recall, there are a lot of pissed off people up and down the state about a lot of issues besides homelessness.
This could play into 2020’s presidential election if Trump decides to campaign in “The Nation’s First Failed State” as one pundit put it. It could be fun since there is no political appetite to seriously address the problem as it is.
*excessive gun control and stymieing Prop 187.
A press conference was held by Alexandra Datig, the leader of the recall effort, on the steps of City Hall announcing the filing of a formal notice of intention with the city clerk and calling for Garcetti to step down over “failed leadership” on the homeless issue.
“Because of Eric Garcetti’s failed leadership, becoming homeless in Los Angeles has become a death sentence, for some. We ask that you accept your failure and that you step down,” said Datig.
She cited a reported 75 percent increase in homelessness citywide over the last year, and for every 133 people housed, 155 more become homeless, according to Datig.
In order to have the effort certified, the group will need to collect nearly 315,000 signatures from registered Los Angeles voters.
