Yesterday in the City of Overland in St. Louis voters decided to recall Mayor Ann Purzner.
Purzner's year long tender had been filled with nothing but accusations and scandal.
One of the greatest beauties of the American Government System is the concept of the recall.
It stands as an ever present warning to politicians.
It actually gives citizens real power in their government.
It makes the politicians servants of their people.
It says "Do your job right or we'll find someone who can do it better".
Today the people of Overland have done a beautiful thing.
Let's hope it catches on.
