Mismanagement of Torrance. Sound Familiar?

The Committee to Recall Torrance Mayor Dan Walker is launching a recall petition at http://www.recalldanwalker.com. Their reasons for the recall include:
Neglecting the concept of a balanced community by supporting and encouraging inappropriate housing development by consistently voting to approve projects rejected by the planning commission, the community development department, the residents, and the business community. Further, they cite Walker's leadership of the City Council in voting to approve zoning changes and building variances and failure to listen to residents’ concerns. The community concerns are about projects which are too large, too dense, create too much traffic, and over burden the infrastructure (water, sewer, streets), and have seriously endangered the quality of life for Torrance. Torrance should not be known as the city with too many people, traffic jams, crowded schools, and the place where developers take priority over Torrance residents.

"We have made an impact, whether we make (the deadline) or not," said David Henseler, who helped lead the recall effort. "I certainly made a point, and I think the City Council is hearing that point."

"We also have a voice," he said. "And our voice is saying there are enough people that are so upset that we're willing to take an extreme measure. That's a very loud voice."

Note too, that the news was not announced by the Daily breeze until the attempt is sure of failure. Gosh that sounds familiar. One thing for sure Los Angeles is much much more tolerant and accepting of mismanagement. Dan Walker isn't even being investigated by the Feds!
