We the undersigned are concerned that the currently elected Council members, including the Mayor, may not be acting in the best interest of those that elected them.
We live in a democracy and there appears to be the lack of a recall process in Toronto or an impeachment process available to the citizens.
We believe there needs to be a mechanism for the recall of politicians that consistently under achieve or in the opinion of the voters, are not acting in their best interests.
Please put in place a mechanism for the removal of municipal politicians should the voters feel strongly a change is needed and compel a new vote to take place and the assignment of a Provincial Manager to oversee the interests of the electorate for that position(s) until the re-vote is democratically conducted.
Respectfully Submitted

    • Hopefully giving the voters this tool will discouragte elected municipal politicians from acting as if they are untouchable/unrecallable once elected.

    • Citizens must have the ability to recall those elected officials who totally ignore the needs and wishes of their electorate.

    • It is not only Mayor Miller that needs to go , it is Giambrone. We need a way to make these people understand they don't have job security for their terms of office.

    • Enough is enough already. Please allow us to democratically vote to remove someone that is no longer acting in the best interest of the people.
