    KRH - Nope, Rep. Scott didn't do a thing wrong - i think the petition mentions his teacher tenure vote -- you know, eliminating seniority in layoffs and making tenure a little more difficult to achieve.
    Actually, the MEA/Dems paid $3 - $4 per signature.  People went door to door and got the signatures...and made, what, $40 per hour.

    Should they though? (none / 0) (#5)

    If you have someone who runs saying one thing, and then completely going against that... probably doesn't hit the definition of misfeasance, malfeasance, or nonfeasance.

    Yet, it would be a reason that I find completely legitimate in regards to recall.

    It would be simple enough to prove misfeasance based on the definition provided - all that has to be done is show how a statute or regulation was violated in the execution of an activity.

    However, malfeasance or nonfeasance... other than codified statute or regulation, how do you prove that those requirements were met? Who should be the final arbiter of whether the target of the recall is a malfeasor or nonfeasor? The secretary of state? A "committee"?

    Surely that would allow for problems. What of the SoS doesn't like the target, and just lets anything qualify? What about the flip side, where that final arbiter(s) determines that the recall target didn't participate in malfeasance or nonfeasance, regardless of how damning the evidence?

    I think the issue is something that the voters are to decide - not a single, or even small group of arbiters.
