(2003-02-23) — In the face of a growing movement to recall California Governor Gray Davis, U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan has urged the state’s voters to give Mr. Davis more time.
California citizens outraged at the financial mismanagement, which has the state $35 billion in debt and planning service cuts and tax increases, are working to gather the 897,158 signatures required to force a recall vote.
But Mr. Annan said United Nations members believe California’s accounting history should be audited for several months first.
“We must inspect the records,” he said. “As long as Governor Davis is willing to comply with the audits even a little bit, we should allow time for auditing to work.”
