Living and breathing in the Second City
Here’s the latest from our friends in Reford, MI who are trying to recall the Speaker of the Michigan House, Andy Dillon, because he supported tax increases. The really sad part, beyond the fact that Dillon is using the policy to discourage recall efforts, is that we don’t even have this much democracy in Illinois.
The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

The problem is that in Illinois we have to wait for a State Senator of Representative to put a recall question on the ballot. The citizens themselves can’t initiate a recall like they can in Michigan.
