Anger is Brewing Possible Source for Erroneous Recall Flame?

In July, AngerisBrewing.com ran an article crediting Citizens Working 4 Fernley for organizing and executing a recall of two Fernley city councilmen. A retraction was later posted and will, for the benefit of the Fernley News, be released again in the next newsletter. While volunteers did overlap between the recent successful council recall AND the Citizens Working 4 Fernley group, that does not mean that one was organized by the other.

Thomas k. Watson Recall in Ward 4 and Who is Really Guilty of Personal Attacks

Opponents of our council members claim to be the voice of the people, but don’t understand their larger community’s needs. In another recall group, some have been willing to spread lies and bully neighbors. Fernley will eventually be constrained by our ability to use water resources and our attractiveness to newcomers.
