Second Recall????
The Ultimate EPIC FAIL!!!!
For a while I felt bad for Wurster because he really seemed genuine if a little misguided. Now he has proved his suckitude with

"Two people familiar with the new effort, speaking on background because they are not authorized to speak for the group, say Wurster won’t turn in the signatures he has gathered to the city elections office. Rather, Wurster will give the signatures to the new group so that it can ask those people to sign a second petition."

I walked by Bush Garden over the weekend. I didn't see the statue but I did read a flyer posted on the front door. Apparently, they're reopening soon.
