Group launching effort to recall Mike Dunleavy (R-AK)

[PSOL]

Dunleavey should be removed for the budget fiasco he put the state in. Finally the fiscally responsible Bill Walker can run for his rightful second term.

Dunleavy seems to be a bad governor, but I'm actually critical of any recalls. Elections can't just be repeated as many times as we want because someone didn't like the result. Governors should only be removed if the violate the law (through impeachment) or did morally extremely behave in a bad way. Governing under the permanent threat of a recall isn't producing results and gives an executive less room to make unpopular decisions. Gray Davis should never have been recalled.

Alaska, especially its education system, is literally in a massive budget crisis because of his idiocy. If anything, this move is actually justified.

Wasn't it already under Walker and the reason he was unpopular?

Bill Walker was not responsible for the collapse in oil prices and lack of economic change in Alaska for the past decade. He at least tried to maintain the budget by making necessary cuts to the oil fund so as to ensure other needs of Alaska were met. He made a tough choice for the best of his state and got booted for it.
