Recall Gray Davis "Recall of a state officer is initiated by delivering to the Secretary of State a petition alleging reason for recall. Sufficiency of reason is not review able… A petition to recall … must be signed by electors equal in number to 12 percent of the last vote for the office. An election to determine whether to recall an officer and, if appropriate, to elect a successor shall be called by the Governor and held not less than 60 days nor more than 80 days from the date of certification of sufficient signatures, in this case, about 900,000. If the majority vote on the question is to recall, the officer is removed and, if there is a candidate, the candidate who receives a plurality is the successor"(CA State Constitution). The question is, “Why does the voters of California want to recall the governor in which they voted in?” In short the people of California feel Gray Davis has failed the leadership test. His campaign was based on false information to the voters, and now they want to see justice. Since Governor Davis campaigned for re-election, he brought false information regarding the size and scope of the budget crisis facing California. Davis has now admitted since his re-election to office that California is facing a $34.6 billion budget deficit. This is the largest budget deficit of any state in America. Everyday Californians learn of new hardships caused by the huge state deficit created by Governor Davis’ out-of-control spending. Now the state is facing massive cuts in education and public safety and increases in every tax imaginable. Also, since Gray Davis has made the state unfriendly to businesses, and companies are increasingly moving jobs out of California. Massive Tax Increase Gov. Davis stated in his campaign that he would not raise taxes to balance the budget, but shortly after his election he announced a budget that contained $12 billion in new taxes. He has also recently come to an agreement with Controller Steve Westley that would triple the states car taxes.
