Tonight's city commission meeting was enjoyable. Commissioner Mary Jolley made comments and asked questions that spurred dialogue amongst the commissioners. She dissented on agenda items 4 & 5. For regular followers of the commission meetings, you know that dissenting votes have been very few and far between for several years.
The highlight of the evening were the animal activists. A few of their demands:
-the immediate resignation of Mayor Stebbins, Commissioners Beecher and Rosenbaum, Police Chief Grove, City Manager Lawton and the director of the animal shelter. If they don't turn in their resignations to Commissioners Bronson and Jolley by Wednesday, January 9, they will immediately start the recall process.
-that the shelter be immediately turned over to the Humane Society of Cascade County.
-opening of the city books for public inspection. If ignored, those asked to resign will have their personal finances investigated.
Susan Overfield was in attendance and made a few remarks that lasted much less than five minutes. Thank goodness.

I'm not familiar with the recall process, but this is what I found concerning Montana.

Wow - issuing a DEMAND for all of those people to resign? Something tells me that just won't happen.
Very difficult, finding legally justified reasons for recall.
All those demands for this and that, and threatening that personal finances will be investigated.
I'd guess the whole commission will just say, "take your best shot".
