The battle in the 3rd Ward over an ongoing attempt to recall Ald. Freeman Bosley, Sr. is being fought out today at the polls.
Some residents are gathering signatures on a recall petition today near at least one voting place. At the same time, poll workers hired by Bosley, are passing out fliers urging voters not to support the recall. Bosley's workers are passing those handouts out along with ones supporting the two incumbents running for the school board.
The anti-recall flier seems to actually be two fliers printed on one sheet of paper.
On one side the headline reads: "Did You Know?" It claims that the recall effort is being backed by "big money people." A disclaimer says it is paid for by "Citizens Against Recall." That committee, whose treasurer is Committeewoman Lucinda Frazier, was established in February and is registered with the state.
The second side, which tells voters "Don't Be Fooled," says it is paid for by "Citizens for Honest Government," Cheryl Lacey, chairperson.
But the only committee registered under that name with the state Ethics Commission is from Kansas City and its treasurer is named Dan Porrevecchio.

"Downtown interests" want to stop the revitalization in the Third Ward?
I think that, if there is a "they" here, they want to actually start the revitalization that Alderman Clown has prevented.

The fliers ignore that Bosley has gotten cozy with the mayor, the epitome of downtown business interests. Sheesh.

Hypothetically, if a recall effort was sucessful, who would his opposition likely be?
