ANNAPOLIS, Maryland: State Delegate Barbara Frush will be planning to introduce legislation that would allow Maryland citizens to recall elected officials. Frush’s proposal would allow for recall to be used if a elected official is charged with a crime. [1]
Frush is concerned that the idea of recall has not received a lot of support from her colleagues in the House of Delegates. However, there is support for recall from constituents in her district located in Prince George’s County, near the District of Columbia border. The Hillandale Gardens Citizens Association, located in Brush’s district, has pushed for recall in the past as the county has dealt with politicians involved in illegal activities while in office. [1]
Under current law, the Governor has the power to remove elected officials at the state level who have pleaded guilty or were convicted of a crime. At the county level, a council can only remove elected officials if a physical or mental disability prevents them from carrying out the duties of their respective offices. [1]
Details about the proposed bill have not been released as Frush is drafting legislation. The Delegate said that she must determine how recall elections would be administered before proceeding with any legislation. [1]
I commend Delegate Frush on this proposed legislation, however though, personally I think that it should apply for elected officials who just constantly remain sleep and or invisible like they in that 45th district for some reason they just seem to keep voting for the same idiots that constantly brings back nothing to the district the senator and delegates lower case used purposely. The district they represent most of it looks worse than third world nation. So I say to you, you only get what you vote for nothing.
Barbara Mulculski Has been off, i.e. not worked steadily in over 5 years has been having her staff complete her duties, plus has drawn full salary, she, the carpet muncher should go first, followed closely by Governor O’Mally!
