Florida: Tamarac Commissioner recall misses by 18 signatures

The recall effort against Commissioner Patte Atkins-Grad (who was recently acquitted of trading votes to developers) ended 18 signatures shy of moving forward. Petitioners got 1,468 signatures, but needed 1,250 (10% of registered). But just enough were knocked off to end the process.

Check the humorous quotes out that Atkins-Grad gives, noting the lucky 18 (for Jews) value of the missing signatures.

Note that there would have had to be another round of signature gathering.
