Texas: Houston Mayor recall effort set to start in fall

The lead petitioners for the recall effort against Houston Mayor John Whitmire (D) has said that they are planning on kicking off a campaign in the fall. 

The recall is over general complaints about incompetence, but seems to be focused on the specific policy issue seems to be a water plan.

Petitioners need about 63,000 signatures in 30 days (25% of turnout). The article notes that they are shooting for 64,000 signatures, but perhaps something is lost in translation there, as that would require an extremely unlikely success rate.
