Alexandra Noad writing for the Lethbridge Herald:
Nearly two weeks after a recall petition for Lethbridge East MLA Nathan Neudorf was approved by Elections Alberta, speculation is swirling about the campaign and a total lack of action by its organizer.
Many residents in the riding, along with other Albertans, are concerned about the legitimacy of the petition since many have offered their support and assistance, only to receive radio silence from Ryan Tanner, the person whose name is on the Notice of Recall Petition.
Achieving this level of media coverage for a legitimate petition might have been a tall order but thanks to Tanner it’s all over the news. Furthermore, despite protecting him from recall, I suspect the fake petition is actually catastrophic for Neudorf’s re-election prospects.
Today’s editorial by Scott Sakatch about Tanner, the invisible man, is also worth reading.
