Recall effort of St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly to be launched

by Cathy Wurzer, Minnesota Public Radio

The effort to recall St. Paul Mayor Randy Kelly is expected to kickoff on Saturday. Organizers of the effort say they are upset over the DFL mayor's endorsement of Republican President George W. Bush, and unhappy with Kelly's appearance with Bush at a campaign rally at Xcel Energy Center. Organizers must collect 11,972 signatures on a petition. Morning Edition host Cathy Wurzer spoke with David Duddingston who is one of the leaders of the recall effort.
