If you live in Golden, you know the author of the Voice of Golden likes to tout her political views in the guise of news. The author recently tried to recall most of the Golden City Council, but failed to turn in enough signatures.
From Golden Mayor Jacob Smith’s website:
Recall Attempt Fails
February 23, 2009 by Jacob Smith
I am please to report that the petitioners seeking to recall six of seven members of the Golden City Council failed today to submit the necessary signatures.
This recall attempt failed because so many in the community opposed it: refusing to sign the recall petitions, adding their names to the list of Citizens for Golden supporters, volunteering to make phone calls or walk door-to-door, making financial contributions in support of the effort. Opposition to the recall attempt has been incredibly broad and energetic, spanning across the entire community.
Citizens for Golden, the community group that organized the opposition to the recall attempt, deserve a HUGE amount of credit.
I offer my sincere gratitude to everyone who expressed their support or otherwise contributed. We’ve still got plenty of work to do but we can move forward now without the expense, distraction, and divisiveness of a recall election. For our part on the City Council, we will continue our focus on open government and making sure the citizens of Golden have a voice, maintaining the City’s financial health, and protecting our quality of life.
