Stark Letter: Recall trustees

It took a lawsuit threat to prod West Ada School District Trustees Tina Dean and Carol Sayles to do the right thing and compensate Linda Clark for her years of unselfish service.

It took a recall election to remove the other two trustees.

Obviously these four trustees are not capable of governing with transparency and without controversy. They have been ineffective leaders. Citizens have a very powerful and valuable right — they can recall underperforming elected officials. We need to proceed with the recall and drive home the point that we expect moral behavior from all of our our elected officials.

Recall Tina Dean and Carol Sayles.
