A notice of intent to recall California Assemblyman Jim Silva was filed on April 17, 2009, beginning the process campaigning to remove him from office.

Taxpayers United to Recall Jim Silva is organizing the effort due to frustration with state tax increases. The group claims that Silva broke his pledge to protect the taxpayers of California when he supported a budget deal to raise taxes throughout the state. According to the group:“The facts speak for themselves. The facts show that Jim Silva betrayedtaxpayers by breaking his pledge to oppose tax increases.”

Also among the reasons for recall, according to the group, is that Silva endorsed Republican Assemblyman Anthony Adams, a strong supporter of tax increases.[1]
