NOT ANOTHER RE-CALL! ...

What has Walling,Flint Michigan Mayor done to deserve being re-called?It appears he has not put public saftey first,to some.

I do not support re-calls.

I think it minimizes the importance of elections.

I do support accounability.It is very difficult to get this on the ballot.A demonstration of discontent.

After the challenges,which there should always be and if it is then placed on the ballot the Mayor should be held accountable.

ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU FLINT VOTERS.

This quote caught my attention.

Walling said he plans on fighting against the individuals who are "disgruntled at decisions that I've made in the best interests of the community."

I do not support recalls as stated above and I do support you finishing your term and mabey more. But I also support government accountability. As a former Flint Ombudsman my opinion is that when your citizens express displeasure you should embrace that as a legimate form of citizen participation in the governance of their city. But you said in a sweeping manner "Walling said he plans on fighting against the individuals who are "disgruntled at decisions that I've made in the best interests of the community."



I hope you ment , Mr Mayor,to narrow your target to mean the recall organizers. But you did not. A reasonable person would think you mean to harm those that that voice any dissatisfaction with your administration. If that is correct how odd. I looked and disgruntled means discontented or dissatisfied. A lot of people fit that issue to issue. You should clarify that statement.
