The egregious attempt to recall county commissioner Gwen Lachelt is merely an effort by some who are dissatisfied with the current government in La Plata County.
There have been times when an official has been elected who is not someone for whom I voted, or someone with whom I agree. However, this is the United States of America’s election process and I had to accept it.
I encourage everyone to respectfully write to your elected officials about items that matter to you. You also have the opportunity to vote an official out of office. You can even run for office yourself. However, going through all of the unnecessary procedures of a recall just because you didn’t get your way is not the way to behave.
I encourage all voters of La Plata County not to sign the petition to recall Gwen Lachelt.
