Woman Files Governor Recall Petition
I suppose it was just a matter of time before papers were filed to recall Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco. That eventuality became reality Tuesday when Kat Landry, a woman who describes herself as “Republican who says she has never worked on a political campaign” filed documents Tuesday launching a drive to oust Gov. Kathleen Blanco. Here’s the particulars of the recall process:
Getting a recall on the ballot requires petition signatures from at least one-third of the state’s registered voters, or about 900,000 people, in 180 days, according to Jennifer Marusak of the secretary of state’s office. The 180-day period for gathering signatures began Tuesday, when the petition was filed, Marusak said. If the proper signatures are gathered, a majority of voters in a recall election would have to vote to get rid of Blanco, a Democrat, before she would be forced out of office.
Don’t be surprised if they get enough signatures to force a recall election. If that happens, I’d have to think that Blanco’s in big trouble because of the harsh feelings towards her inept handling of the Katrina disaster.
