Why is the recall election counterproductive?
This recall attempt will cost the City of Golden taxpayers an estimated $50,000. This is especially wasteful because a regular election is already scheduled for November, when four out of the seven members of the council are up for reelection–regardless of whether or not the recall election occurs. A successful recall would effectively dismantle our city government by removing virtually all experience and continuity from the city council. The members of this city council are known for being transparent in process, open to public input, fiscally cautious and pro-active in planning for the future. Dismantling our city government, especially at this time, would be an extremely risky move for Golden.
