Montebello City Council Results '07

Well, its appears Montebello won't have to go through a costly recall election.  The two incumbents up for recall, Lopez-Reid and Bagwell, have been unseated with 100% of the precincts reporting according to the L.A. County Recorder.  I hate to "gloat" and say "I told you so", so I won't, that would be too easy and nonproductive.  I only hope their city can get onto the real business of running their city according to the peoples' will. I am confident this group will be more harmonious, work as a team and be more goal oriented.  Congratulations to Robert Uretega (new to the council) and Kathy Salazar (a former council member).

Still a recall

There's a third council member, Jeff Siccama, who faces a recall next month.  Given Tuesday's results, he should quit and save the city some money.  But I wouldn't count on that happening.  Fred Girardot's had a couple of articles and blog entries about this in recent days.

Still a recall

You're right RosemeadOne.  Three down and one to go by recall.  Well, at least they won't have two costly recalls, just the one lol!
