DID YOU KNOW? FACTS ABOUT RECALL:
EDITORIAL NOTES FROM JOHN S. DENNEY, COUNSEL FOR HOMEOWNERS FOR FAIR ZONING:
1. While pretending to be neutral in the matter, the publisher of the Tulsa World has used the full power of its newspaper's editorials, cartoons, and "news" articles (even including the sports pages) to try to get Councilors Jim Mautino and Chris Medlock recalled.
2. What this "newspaper" doesn't point out is that, if Councilors Medlock and Mautino are recalled, it won't be the residents of Council Districts 2 and 6 who elect their successors. Under the terms of the City Charter, the remaining City Councilors (Districts 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9, a majority of which are controlled by the Tulsa World) will choose the new Councilor to serve out the balance of the term of any Councilor who is recalled. The residents of a recalled Councilor's Council District will have no say in the matter. How's that for getting Whirled by the World's publisher?

Every vote counts in this election. Republicans and Democrats who undertand the stakes and the need to keep good men in office should rally every family member and friends to vote on July 12th to keep Chris and Jim Mautino in office.
