Recall is to Reform What Amputation is to Weight Loss

I'm sorry but Don Rose lost my vote in his attempt to show why Tom Geoghegan is the best candidate for IL-05 the moment he laid the following egg:

Feigenholtz disappears when key reform votes come up, such as the bill to permit recall of public officials. (Fritchey voted "no.")

Let's repeat: Recall is not reform. It's a bad idea that undermines the democratic process and hands the initiative over to unelected (albeit well financed) interest groups. Just ask the people in California.

We've got enough problems in Illinois. Anyone smart enough to oppose recall is the very person we ought to support. It's almost a recommendation in itself.
