Nevada recall drive
Emboldened by recall efforts in California, a group of Nevada conservatives upset about the largest tax increase in state history began recall proceedings Wednesday against Republican Gov. Kenny Guinn.
The group filed a notice of intent with the Nevada Secretary of State's Office in Las Vegas to seek a recall election against Mr. Guinn. Organizers have 90 days to collect 128,109 signatures, or 25 percent of those who cast ballots in the 2002 general election, the Associated Press reports.
"It's going to be a daunting task," said Tony Dane, a political consultant and chairman of the Committee to Recall Governor Guinn. "But if people feel motivated enough to take control of their government, it's possible."
The group is not backing a recall candidate, Mr. Dane said.
No statewide recall effort has ever succeeded, and no Nevada governor has ever been the subject of a recall election, state Archivist Guy Louis Rocha said.
Million-dollar man
A group trying to persuade retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark to run for president announced yesterday that it has exceeded $1 million in pledges.
