To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2088 without my signature. This bill would limit an important power of direct democracy by limiting voters' ability to recall an elected official and elect a replacement. Unfortunately recall efforts can become punitive rather than a constructive effort to replace an officeholder; however, the recall process as a whole is an important component of the people's right to directly change their government. Under the provisions of this bill, an official subject to a recall could resign and allow a successor to take their place. This limits the ability of the voters to select the replacement through a recall election. For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill. Sincerely, Arnold Schwarzenegger |
