Recalling officials empowers people
Although I’m figuring out how to afford Chattanooga’s newly increased taxes for property, sewer and storm water, I no longer feel powerlessly ripped off by my mayor and City Council.
It’s not that I’ve suddenly accepted my helplessness. It’s that our citizens group, Chattanooga Organized for Action, is no longer just waiting for open government. We’re asserting the power vested in the real government, the people. We’re attempting to recall and replace our corrupt politicians.
We’ve got recall petitions out at each Friday’s Nightfall Concert Series and the Sunday Market until Aug. 22.
And you can download and print the forms from www.recallron.com until Aug. 25.
