California: San Diego looks to give City Council power to start recalls

Interesting proposed law by the San Diego Charter Review Committee. They are looking into giving the City Council the ability to start a recall for dereliction of duty or violating the law.  This starts from the Mayor Bob Filner sex harassment scandal of three years ago.

The suggestion is that a recall proposal might need the support of 7 of 9 councilmembers to get on the ballot.
