This afternoon, the Town of Castle Rock announced that a recall petition had been filed against its leader, Mayor Paul Donohue. Those pushing the recall are the same folks who raised a stink against the town for its handling of prairie dogs. Yes, those rabies-infested, not-cuddly creatures that most Coloradans view as target practice.
The recall petition needs just 147 signatures to get on the ballot, and according to the press release, the petition language has been approved. The next step is to gather signatures. The three Democrats behind the recall are Suzanne Hackett, Malia Reeves, and John Buckley.
After the success of the teachers union in defeating members of the conservative board majority on the Douglas County School Board, Democrats and Democrats-Disguised-as-Republicans have been emboldened to seize control of Douglas County elected positions using the same model as the school board elections. This is likely not the last we will hear of recalls in Douglas County, PeakNation™. Look for more recalls to come in city councils, and perhaps even the school board.
Liberals, still riding the victory in Jefferson and Douglas Counties, are just getting warmed up.
They are rabies infected – straight from my vet's mouth. I am afraid YOU have no idea what YOU are talking about.

Nancy Marie I am perfectly happy with the way the mayor and the council are handling growth.
I agree with Langford, it is extremely childish and petulant to recall the mayor when his term of office is almost up. And a total waste of our money. The threshold for a recall petition should be MUCH higher than 147 votes.
He is also right about liberals trhowing tantrums when they don't get their way.
These tantrums are CONSUMING the entire country, and sending our children in the wrong direction. If you don't get your way, throw a tantrum!!!

Please site where I declared support for a recall. I merely pointed out possible reasons for so much discourse and dissatisfaction with the mayor and council and the direction the "town" is going. Much like your statements regarding "rabid", "not-cuddly" prairie dogs, your claim regarding "overwhelming and majority" support for the current growth are merely your opinion, with no supporting data or facts. I have yet to personally find a liberal, conservative or other who embrace Castle Rock becoming a Denver suburb or worse, another bloody CALIFORNIA! Believe it ir not, not every issue fits conveniently marginalized as liberal or conservative.
You are the one who has no clue and the one "…way out of tune…"- the current growth has OVERWHELMING and MAJORITY support. You clearly have no idea what is going…year round snow skiing?? Siding with developers?? If these are the reasons you have for supporting this recall, then you need to have all but two of the council members recalled. This is purely about someone not getting their way so now they think they have a right to make it everyone's issue. And if you think this is not, in large part, a LIBERAL issue then you are a political neophyte. If a liberal does not get their way they jump up and down and scream no fair and then pull this stupid stuff. To recall someone so close to the end of term is nothing more than a childish act. Recalls are for irresponsible, illegal or unethical shortcomings- not a tool to try and get your way becasue you don't like something. If this goes through we all get stuck for the cost adn incurring this cost when the election is only 7 or 8 months away. These three people are nothing more than petulant little children. I seriously doubt your claim at being a conservative…perhaps in name only.
"most Coloradans view as target practice." is absolutely false. Most Coloradans live in cities and built-up areas and think the plague carrying rodents are cute.
Who started this recall wave? It wasn't Dimocrats in JeffCo; it was gunnuts in Colorado Springs.
Apparently the author of this little article is not knowledgable about the "rabies-infested" creatures. I'm sorry you do not know what you are talking about – usually someone who puts "facts" in print has ALL the information to back up their claim.
Fact is, Donahue rubber-stamps ANY and ALL proposed projects in Castle Rock, including year-round snow skiing. He salivates over anything that promises to draw millions to OUR town per annum. As a CONSERVATIVE, I find him likeable. But he's way out of tune with his constituents desire to keep the town free of more of the banal urban sprawl developers live for. As for Prairie Dogs, many of enjoy and cherish our wildlife, that is quickly disappearing with the desumation of the keystone species. You seem ignorant or uncaring that prairie dogs sustain burrowing owls, various raptors, black-footed ferrets and the overall health of our prairies and low grasslands. Donahue appears as if he couldn't care less about us natives of Colorado and residents of Castle Rock or what we hold dear. Rather he goes along with all developers at every turn, in spite of the legitimate concerns held by residents of Castle Rock. If you find this recall merely a LIBERAL issue, you must be as ignorant, shallow and greedy as you sound.
