It’s time for Murray to move on
I can’t imagine how painful it must be to lose an election by a mere two votes, but former Metro Council Member Pam Murray can. Murray’s ridiculous comparison that losing the election is like being an innocent prisoner on death row notwithstanding, it’s time for the embattled public servant to step aside. A legal challenge, which would be her second this fall in regard to the election, will do nothing to help her former constituents move on after what has been an ugly and nasty recall campaign.
Whether or not the rumors that she was frequently out of town and often unresponsive were true, the issues that led to Murray’s defeat began long before the recall. When 1,200 people in a few neighborhoods are willing to sign a petition to remove you from office, something is wrong.
