| Description | With about 48 hours left to collect signatures, organizers of the recall effort against District Attorney Colleen Truden feel “very good” about their chances of meeting the 5,455-name requirement needed to force an election.Jeff Cheney, a former deputy district attorney under Truden who has helped lead the recall campaign after resigning, also welcomed Chip McCrory as a candidate should Truden be recalled.McCrory, a longtime lawyer in the valley who was formerly the No. 2 prosecutor in the 9th Judicial District, said his interest in running stems from a lack of trust in Truden’s administration – but not from the public.”Unless and until they get called in for jury duty or it’s a family member who’s involved in the court system either as a victim or a defendant, I don’t think the public really knows that much of what’s going on in the courthouse,” he said. Indeed, Cheney said the welcome mat was not exactly laid out for recall proponents when some of them traveled to Rio Blanco County last weekend to gather names. The region has had little awareness or interest in the district attorney controversy. |
