Complete dipshit Anchorage, Alaska mayor Dave Bronson, famous for calling local anti-vaxxers’ wearing Judenstern arm bands a “nice gesture” to commemorate victims of the Holocaust and shutting down the fluoridation of the city’s water supply for five hours before being told he doesn’t actually have the legal authority to do that, was pissed off for obvious reasons Tuesday after the city assembly approved a legislative process to remove a mayor from office and enumerated the potential grounds for initiating the process, Alaska Public Media reports.
“There already exists a method for removal of a mayor. It’s called a recall. Why is this method not good enough? No mayor, present or future, should be subject to a coup by an Assembly that doesn’t agree with his politics,” said Bronson, leaving out that the new impeachment process does not in any way preclude citizens from organizing a recall separately. The grounds for impeachment include breaches of public trust such as perjury, asking a municipal employee to break the law, and falsifying records – three out of four of which Bronson arguably already scored with the fluoride incident. Lucky for Bronson however is that the impeachment cannot be initiated retroactive to an offense, so he’s got a clean slate for at least a day or two before the next fuckup.
