Mark the date. On March 3, 2015, the citizens of Hearne reclaimed their government from City Attorney Bryan F. “Rusty” Russ, Jr. and the rest of the Booger County Mafia<\/a> by recalling Councilwoman Maxine Vaughn.<\/p>\n

Notwithstanding the race-baiting and fear mongering<\/a> of the mafia and its allies, voters ousted Vaughn by a vote of 269 to 260. Residents\u00a0petitioned for a recall election last August, and by law the election should have been held last November, but law doesn’t count for much where Rusty Russ is concerned.<\/p>\n

Vaughn, Mayor Ruben Gomez, and Councilwoman Michael Werlinger refused to schedule the election, but on February 2, 2015, the Tenth Court of Appeals ordered the city to hold the election<\/a>. Now that Rusty and his allies have lost control of the council, I have to wonder if they will start shredding documents at\u00a0city hall tonight.<\/p>\n
