Done nothing wrong?

Background: The blog The Enterprise covers topics related to Farmington/Farmington Hills. In a recent post on 2008 resolutions, Aldo Vagnozzi was encouraged to fight the recall attempt.

To claim that Rep. Aldo Vagnozzi has done nothing wrong ignores that Michigan’s economy is in a downward spiral and Rep. Vagnozzi’s vote to increase taxes will exacerbate the problem. Michigan must cut spending by restructuring how it operates. The legislature’s failure to do this necessary step means that before this fiscal year is over, we will be facing another Lansing-created budget crisis. Rep. Vagnozzi and many other legislators have been negligent in their duties. In the private sector you get fired for negligence. The same standard should apply for our elected officials.

As far as wasting money on a recall, you miss the full purpose. A recall serves two purposes – punish the current offender and deter future offenders. If the recall is a waste of Rep. Vagnozzi’s time and energy - good. The less time he has to spend creating more obstacles for Michigan businesses the better.
