California: Editorial opposes Foster City Vice Mayor recall

A San Mateo Daily Journal editorial opposed Foster City Vice Mayor Herb Perez recall effort. The recall claims that it is about complaints about his conduct and "pro development agenda." Perez claims the issue is housing.

The editorial notes that: "While there have been other recalls here and elsewhere that have not focused on ethical lapses or criminal behavior, typically one is not recalled for being mean...Recalls for personal disputes or for a disagreement over policy sets a dangerous precedent, and should be avoided."
