California: Los Angeles Times deep dive on Calexico recalls

The Los Angeles Times has a deep look at the Calexico recall fight (with some of my comments included).

Former Mayor (it seems like they switch the position among city councilmembers), Councilmember Raul Urena and Gilberto Manzanarez (who was named Vice Mayor) have a recall that has been set for April 16.

The issue is a claim of poor leadership, though one of the big issues is that Urena was Calexico's first transgendered mayor and has pushed for progressive-focused policies. 

Mayor Gloria Romo, who is an ally of Urena and Manzanerez) has been served with recall petitions as well moments after taking the job.
