Unstable Clerk Jim Dear Cracks Under Stress in front of LA News Group’s editorial board. Whether you love him or hate this elected City Clerk the compassionate thing to do is remove him from public office for his own health and safety as well as the public.
Carson City Clerk Jim Dear made racist comments and scared employees at City Hall. For years, he intimidated workers and stalled city business.These are just a few of the alarming allegations uncovered by an outside law firm hired to investigate

The City Council will vote on Tuesday whether to censure Dear, essentially condemning his behavior. But that’s not enough. Dear, who was mayor of Carson for 11 years, is out of control and it’s time he leaves City Hall for good.

It’s doubtful Dear will step down on his own, however. That’s why voters must follow through on what would be a second attempt to recall him.

Dear survived a recall while he was mayor, but the community can’t give up. Because he is an elected official, it’s the voters’ responsibility to boot him out of office.

They have reason:

Based on interviews with more than a dozen employees, a report by investigators paints Dear as a power-hungry racist who bullies and frightens workers. His behavior has been so bizarre and troubling, according to the report, some city staffers planned escape routes in the event he became violent. Others quit.
