Why was Governor Gray Davis recalled?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. Reasons typically cited are political and personal in nature. Political reasons: Republican dislike of a Democrat; capitalizing on an opportune moment in which the citizenry was outraged over rising electricity costs and a weakening economy, as well as the fact that the governor had made himself unpopular by trying to help close the budget gap by raising the car tax. Personal reasons: a lackluster governor, seen as a "pay-to-play" politician who rewarded unions (prison guards, teachers) that were loyal to the Democratic Party. He was also accused of lying about the budget deficit (the deficit was worse than he claimed publicly).
