ROCCO RECALL ROLLS ON TO DECEMBER
Metro VIEWS
Viewpoints from the Greater Orange Communities
Due to the obvious confusion regarding the Rocco Recall, we would like to provide you and your readers with the official update from the Committee to Recall Steve Rocco:
Official Statement
1). The Rocco Recall is ongoing. We were aware that completing the process by September 21st was a lofty goal due to summer vacations and schools not being in session. We officially have until December 5th to submit valid signatures to the Registrar of Voters.
2). By submitting signatures at the Dec. 5th deadline, we should qualify for the June Primary election. Contrary to what you were told, we do not have to refile in order to qualify for the June ballot.
3). To date, we have collected more than a third of the required signatures needed. The recall committee will not be releasing exact numbers, as we continue to review the submitted signatures and petitions for accuracy.
4). Many activities for signature gathering have been planned for the month of October, and we will continue to make progress and plan more events until the goal is reached. Super Saturday events are scheduled for October 6th and October 27th.
5). The feedback from the community has been enormously positive in the short time that we have been engaged in this process. Among the comments most commonly heard are: “What took you so long to do this?”, and “Thank you so much for taking this on.”
If you would like to be a part of this community service project or would like to sign a petition, contact the recall committee at: recallrocco@cox.net.
