This bill can take a flying leap. The peoples right to recall should not be limited any further. Recalls are the way to remove someone who is either incompetent, abuses their position,flagrant and/or ignores the will of the people. It is the way that the taxpayer can fire their government tax-fed employee (representative), just as an employer can do in the private sector.

They should be recalled just for thinking about introducing this. Maybe they are not so sure that raising taxes is the right thing to do. Of course, that is the easy thing to do. But it is not the way to help Michigan or the taxpayers of this state.

I beleive that it is pure arrogance that says if I have someone in office that I beleive is violating the discription of his office that I cannot petition my government which is guarantee in the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution as well as the State Constitution. You are not abolsishing it but you are restricting to the point that is totally ineffective. Mr. Gleason what are you afraid of.

What is John Gleason afraid of? He must not feel secure in his positions or is it he wants to protect his or the Governors job. The truth is that the people who elect their officials ought to have the right to recall them. This is more "BIG GOVERNMENT" abuse. Beware of politicians who want to take away your rights.
