Irvine council split on recall businesslike governance debate
Council members split along party lines on the recall with Democrat Mears and Krom opposing the recall and a replacement vote, Republican Ward backing recall and support for Schwarzenegger or Simon. Ward calls state government a business, cites a 38 billion deficit, while Mears argues recall undermines democracy and Krom says recall worsens Irvine’s budget strain.
