DENVER — Recalls have often been used as a political strategy in Colorado. Lately, those facing recalls believe the concept has been watered down.
"It's more times about a vote that they took on a particular issue, it may not be anything to do with political ideology at all, but something that deals with something that people get emotional about," said former Westminster Mayor Herb Atchison.
Atchison just resigned as Westminster mayor. His resignation letter said it was "upon the advice of my physician." He was also facing a recall election that just got certified for the ballot.
