Filner Recall Gears Up

San Diego Mayor Bob Filner (D) “faces a deadline Monday to submit a statement to organizers of a recall drive saying why he should not be voted out of office in the face of claims that he sexually harassed women and made numerous unwanted advances,” the San Diego Union Tribune reports.

“If he does respond by midnight, organizers are required to publish his statement, limiting it to 300 words or less.”
