“Proponents of the “Recall Charles Allen” campaign characterize it as a grass roots effort. The list of initial donors simply does not bear that out.
As I discuss below, the list of major donors (defined as giving $100 or more) is overwhelmingly comprised of people who work professionally in national politics or who are identifiable Republicans, or both. Many people in Ward 6 fall into one or both of these categories. But the great many more Ward 6 residents who do not are simply just not on the list of $100+ donors.”
