The group that pushed for the recall, really did it because they got p.o.'d over fact their little group of not-ready-for-primetime-players lost the last mayoral election in Troy.

They didn't take to kindly to that perceived "slight".

The transit center vote, Facebook flap and etc. were just red herrings for voters in order to get one of their own back in power.

Watch the last ten seconds of the clip. Troy CC is interviewing residents for the now open council seat (see Troy City Charter Sec 6.7).

Now, take a wild guess as to which drum Bluhm and Bittner march to, when they made their call?

Just whom do you think CC would've tapped on for that now coveted seat?

An "outsider"?

Yeah, right!

With the decision now taken out of their hands (and a $100,000 tab to the voters of Troy to stroke their overinflated collective egos), I'd love to see Janice Daniels run for her old seat.
