An effort to recall Gary Frago, who is a member of the Atwater City Council in Merced County is underway as of August 2009.[1]
Alvin Mayfield, a resident of Atwater, is organizing the recall effort.The motivation for the recall is that Frago used his city e-mail address to forward more than 200 e-mails containing racist jokes and comments. Some of the messages allude to the assassination of the President. Frago sent the e-mails, however, according to reports, the e-mails originated from other senders, including retired Atwater city works employee Bob Rieger and a retired Air Force Colonel in Alabama. Some of the senders of the e-mails stated they saw no harm in the jokes.[2]
Frago has been asked to step down, but has declined to do so.[1]
Support for removal
Napoleon Washington, president of the Merced chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has called for Frago's resignation on behalf of his group. In a September 2009 speech before the Atwater City Council, Washington noted that no members of the city council have publicly called for Frago to step down.[3]
