Missouri: New nonprofit funding Jackson County Executive/All-Star 2nd Baseman recall efforts

A nonprofit called Democracy in Action has raised over $180,000 in six months for the recall effort against Jackson County Executive Frank White -- (yes, the Royals Star 2nd Baseman). No word on who is backing the organization.

The recall is over complaints that property taxes are going up between 30% - 400%. There is a complaint that White's salary went up 7%. A recall was threatened last year as well. 

Petitioners would need 42,902 valids to get on the ballot.
