I mailed off a petition to the Secretary of State's office to be certified to recall the mayor of New Orleans, Ray Nagin. He has proposed a property tax increase to pay for a bloated and record breaking city budget of $1.16 billion. Our city is already in trouble because of excessive wasteful and liberal spending.
Since oil prices have gone down, our state has seemed to go instantly from economic stability to economic uncertainty. Now, our state is expecting to have to make 30% budget cuts. The sick thing is that over 60% of those cuts are probably going to be taken from education. And whatever happened to "give a a man a fish, feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime"?
Right now, New Orleans needs real leadership. Many people are sitting around waiting for the 2010 election. I say that we don't have that long to wait. We are stuck with a lame duck in the middle of an economic crisis. I see my city's potential at the mouth of the Mississippi. I want to help to fix this mess.
The certification of the recall petition should be soon. If anyone would like to help, I would appreciate it. The media here may pick it up, but who knows these days. Things have seemed to go completely insane, unless I have just started to analyze things better.
RECALL RAY NAGIN!!
