Thursday afternoon I checked the mailbox, and to my surprise I found a letter from the Recall Ken Weir group.  I was so excited.  As some of you know, I have been very anxious to sign the petition for his recall.

During the time I've waited for the petition, I have had a chance to learn more about Mr. Weir.  I have listened to both sides.  Mr. Weir is my city councilman, so I have thought about what I expect from my public officials.  And, as many of you know, I expect a lot from them.  Most importantly, I expect them to always act in public.  I should never have to feel that they are hiding something.

Ken Weir has more than once made me wonder if I can trust him.  It is so important for us to always remember that each of our public officials (no matter what position they hold) is my representative.  In order for me to be an informed voter I need to see exactly how they are conducting their affairs.

Mr. Weir's tendency to keep information from the public, and his delayed explanations, have tarnished his reputation.  I demand public openness from my public officials.

I encourage everyone who reads this blog to sign, and encourage their friends to sign, the petition to recall Ken Weir.  It is time to remind all our public officials that we demand that they represent us.  And it is time to remind all our public officials that we the people are who they report to, not the other way around.

RECALL KEN WEIR.
