Something To Look At

I keep asking the question, if the recall is successfull. Who do we replace "Mayor Herenton" with? I haven't got an answer to my inquiry yet. I think I know why that is. They don't even pretend to know the answer to that question. They haven't looked that far ahead. I must say at least I respect that. They don't say anything they'll have to take back later. This whole recall effort is opening a can of worms.

Once we recall the mayor in office, then we must elect another. Unless we want the president of the city council to take his duties over. What good would that do? No city council president is going to rock the boat. It would require three votes at one time. To make this whole thing worthwhile and timely. To have control of this process from beginning to end. I don't know if I trust the Memphis voters to handle all of that. If they can't be trusted to do it right the first time. Why give them three more chances, to make the wrong decision. Where can we afford to loose the reins? In my opinion nowhere.
