Unfortunately, I have heard from many citizens that although they would like to see the recall vote for Mayor Nelson go forward, they are afraid to sign the petition in fear of retaliation. We have seen how Mayor Nelson misuses his power. I personally can attest to instances and people who have been on the receiving end when Mayor Nelson has exceeded his role. He definitely is one to hold a grudge and act in a biased manner. Also, at this late date, he should not be answering "I don't know" when questioned about why the sand trailer was still in service. If he was competent at his job or even cared about Austin Duran's death, he would be at the forefront of finding out these answers, not making excuses for the Fire Chief and himself. I hope enough people have the courage to sign the petition in spite of their fears of retaliation.
