commission of Watson's job performance, none of the commissioners moved to fire Watson.
Members of the Lawrence Committee have said that Gleason acted illegally in writing the letter to Watson without the consent of the full commission.
If the Lawrence Committee really believed that, Gleason said, they would have had him prosecuted instead of starting a recall drive.
Arngersinger said, "That's a very good point. I've wondered about the penalty clause the whole time. If we can push through the recall, it won't be necessary."
"We have a general penalty clause in the city ordinances, if I remember correctly," he said.
Although Gleason did not move to fire Watson, there is still a danger that Gleason will try to replace Watson with a puppet city manager who would be responsive to special interests, Pence said.
PENCE ALSO discussed the rationale for not prosecuting Gleason.
"We're not interested in that kind of Mickey mouse stuff. We’re not interested in cruising any bigger things."
According to Pence, Gleason did not act with the knowledge of the full commission when he attempted to get Watson to resign, and that, Pence said, is illegal.
"He went off to overthrow the city manager form of government," he said.
THERE are two ways to do that, and the first way is by doing it legitimately through an election, but Gleason took a second way, Pence said.
Gleason said, "I feel that voters of Lawrence have more sense than to fall for this sort of power play. I think a number of my opponents feel they lost a favored position, and the recall effort is an attempt to regain that position, as well as an attempt to intimidate other commissioners."
you operate just like you don't have a city manager form of government," he said. "A city commissioner has a right to vote his composition." He doesn't have a right to go off half-cocked."
11 The second way is to get a patsy in there, and
"Grasping for straws," Pence said. "We're not trying to secrete information." We are running an campaign."

BCR takes KJHK contest
"I visited with many people. I visited the "poll areas," she said. "I hope I'm not just feeling it from one side. It's not just clear-cut good guys, bad guys."
BCR, a hard-driving, free-form New Wave group, won top honors at JKHK radio's annual Battle of the Bands competition last night at Off the Wall Hall, 737 New Hampshire St.
BCR members wore masks and original attire that impressed the audience of new wavers.
Judging were Diane Olmsted, disc jockey with KLZR-FM and KANU-FM in Lawrence; Charles Brown, DJ with KJKH; Blake Gumprecht, DJ with KJKH; Frank Loose, drummer for Get Smaa, a Lawrence-based rock music director. Jason KJKH, DJ and KJKH; Anne Hellman, DJ and music director of KJKH; and Dave Drumm, program director with KJKH.
The music hall was packed with more than 400 spectators who saw BCR top five bands to win $50 in grand prize money and an opportunity to perform in KJHK's annual end of the Year Bash, scheduled for May 1 in Lawrence's Centennial Park.
The five finalists were chosen from a total of 20 newly formed bands that submitted demonstration tape to KJHK-FM91, KU's student-operated EMP radio station.
THE BANDS began at 9 p.m., and each had 30 minutes to perform.
Competing were winners BCR, which has members from Kansas City and Lawrence; the Raves, from Manhattan; and three Lawrence-affiliated Romance, the New Spiders and Voo Dube Cube.
BCR (Black Crack Review) review seasoned musicians on saxophones, violin, clarinet,
The KJKH End of the Year Bash, where BCR can next be heard in Lawrence, is the radio station's way of saying "thanks to the public" and "goodbye to the year"; according to KJKH DJ Risa Kanter.
