8 October 2003It can't happen hereNo way anyone will recall Oklahoma's governor, Brad Henry: Oklahoma law doesn't allow for the recall of elected state officials. He could be "ousted", a procedure the Attorney General handles for neglect of duty, public intoxication or a criminal conviction. On the city level recalls are possible, for all elected officials including the mayor and city council. Mike from OkieDoke, from whom I pilfered this story, comments: Ousted for public intoxication? I hope that doesn't apply to all our elected officials. Enforcing that could get to be quite expensive. They'd have to hire someone just to follow Carroll Fisher around. |
