Hawaii is recalling mayors over lock downs. Local tyrannical governments are being removed in free societies.
Government is destroying small business and tourism to create chaos and government dependence. Nurses, school teachers fired over vaccine mandates.
An initiative seeking to recall Maui Mayor Michael Victorino, was launched with a public event held over the weekend. A group of grassroots organizers kicked off their effort to collect more than 21,000 valid signatures in 30 days from Maui County residents.
Group leaders say they are seeking Mayor Victorino’s removal as they stand in opposition to ongoing emergency health mandates, calling the county government practices an “overreach” of powers.
Mayor Victorino responded to our request for comment saying: “I support the right of the people to initiate a recall effort. After more than a year of dealing with a worldwide pandemic, I want the people of Maui County to know that my decisions were guided by the needs of people and the best available advice of medical experts and professionals across many sectors. I made the hard decisions that kept our community safe while working toward an eventual economic recovery. Aside from the governor’s first lock-down at the pandemic’s start, the County of Maui never shut down and continued to serve all residents. We are just now emerging from the worst public health and economic crises in our history and we will continue to move forward. Finally, I want to thank the many people who have contacted my office with kind words of encouragement and support.”
Organizers with RecallVictorino.org say Saturday’s event, held on the front lawn of the Kalana O Maui Building in Wailuku, drew an estimated 300 people. Attendees picked up “petition packets” for themselves and friends, with 500 of the 1,000 prepared packets distributed on Saturday.
The remaining petition packets will be available at six pickup locations and businesses around the island, and at upcoming rallies and events, including another event set for Wednesday, Oct. 27 from 4 to 6 p.m. at Kalama Park in Kīhei.
The group submitted an affidavit with the County Clerk’s office on Thursday, Oct. 21, 2021 to begin the legal process of seeking a recall.
