[Summit] Jackson Recall election set for May 2

[Mikaila Mariel Lemonik Arthur]

No one, least of all me, said anyone is obligated to fix every issue. 
Rather when people are involved in working really hard and doing a good 
thing, they may also want to think about and work to mitigate the 
potential direct consequences of those actions, unintended though they 
may be.

Given what is going on with the CSA, the Jackson recall is likely to 
have specific negative consequences which really matter to the lives of 
Providence residents, unless the CSA is passed prior to May 2. This is 
because even the best possible replacement for Jackson would not be in 
office until quite a while after the May 2 election date--the special 
election can be up to 90 days after the recall election, and looking at 
that and the City Council calendar suggests that Jackson's replacement 
would attend his or her first council meeting in September.

Lives hang in the balance.
