Re: Are we ready for "Recall" provision?


Oh yeah! Right in Maryland, Governor Robert Erlich (Republican) did fire a
lot of incompetent and inefficient government employees. It is another story
that this is mired in controversy as the fired employees are accusing the
governor of witch hunting as most of them being union members who contribute
heavily to democrats(read communists in India)

Same is the story in Virginia, when reform minded +business man Mark
Warner(Democrat) took the office in 2001, he fired 3000 employees. No wonder
with these kiinid of bold initiatives,Virginia is now known as the best run
state in the Union according to Time Magazine

So, the lesson is, reform minded parties Congress, TDP should not worry
about vote bank arithmetic/politics and effectively reform the labour laws
which brings much needed accountability and ultimately benefit the public
