[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently under DC law we cannot recall a councilmember for at least 365 days after an election or 365 days before an election. This is way out of line with the probationary period of everyone in the private sector. Is it time to reimagine this process and make it more equitable? I think the folks of Ward 3 and Capitol Hill have seen enough. https://code.dccouncil.gov/us/dc/council/code/sections/1-1001.17[/quote] Recalls work better in theory than practice. In DC there probably aren't many things that would get a Council Member successfully recalled without them going to jail first. [/quote] For example, Jack Evans was on the Council from 1991 to 2020.[/quote]
