(2003-08-04) — Gov. Gray Davis filed a lawsuit today claiming that mismanagement at the highest levels of state government will make it impossible for California to hold a fair gubernatorial recall election this fall.
“California is already $38 billion in debt ” the suit claims. “If the public thinks Gov. Davis’ team has mismanaged the state budget, imagine how they’ll do with a rush job like this election.”
The petition before the California Supreme Court contends that the state government is not competent to follow the dictates of state law regarding recall elections, and asks the court to issue an injunction delaying the recall until November 2006.
