ALAMEDA COUNTY DA RECALL

By Bob Walsh

 

Recall Pamela Price!!


Pamela Price is the District Attorney of Alameda County.  She has been in office one year.  There is a very strongly focused and pretty well financed effort under way to throw her out on her ass.  The recall proponents need 73,195 signatures in the next 60 days to do the job.  It looks like a better than 50-50 chance they will get it.  

She is said by her opponents to be soft on crime in general and overly supportive of restorative justice and rehabilitation.  (Meaning even if you are guilty you don't get punished.)   Her opponents have raised more than 30 times more than she has raised to support her position.  

I am, in general, a huge fan of "throw the bums out" movements.  In this case the push to toss her out on her tush is reasonable, informed and in the interests of public safety and good government.

My personal guestimate is that, if they get the issue on the ballot, she is history.
