But, why not allow the public to decide at the next scheduled election of board members?
This guy was elected when this wasn't a contentious issue. Right? Now they are forcing an election, because of this?

The very reason that recalls are legal is so that if a sufficient proportion of his constituents are sufficiently angry at him for ANY reason, they may recall him from being their representative. If the official is convicted of a crime, for instance, his constituents may recall him even though the crime wasn't an issue when he was elected. Or if he suddenly starts espousing "loony" beliefs, especially if said beliefs are insulting to the values of the folks he represents. The fact that he didn't start proclaiming his looniness until after the most recent election shouldn't matter.

Agreed. This is far from emergent. A recall election is just a waste of money.
