Dear Editor:
Let’s get the facts straight once and for all.
C.R.S. 1-12-103 Petition for recall — statement of grounds
The statement is for the information of the electors who are the sole and exclusive judges of the legality, reasonableness and sufficiency of the ground or grounds assigned for the recall. The ground or grounds are not open to review.
C.R.S. 1-12-108 is in regard to the approval as to form.
The approval “as to form” does not include the statement of grounds which are entirely up to the electors as stated above. The County Clerk only approves the form of the petition including the required warnings shown on the front page, signature lines, the circulator’s statement and notarization section.
Mr. Moyer keeps accusing the County Clerk of approving the “statement of grounds”.
He and others should read the law before publicly making false accusations.
Boots M. Campbell
RBC Clerk and Recorder
