Politcal novices fill
California recall ballot
By Brian Skoloff
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
FRESNO, Calif. — Georgy Russell hopes a
thong and a pretty face will persuade voters to make
her governor of California. Ned Roscoe is banking
on support from the state’s 4 million smokers.
Leonard Padilla thinks his year in prison gives
him the edge. Michael Jackson — no, not that
Michael Jackson — wants to make the recall race
a thriller.
At least 155 candidates, most of them political
novices, officially submitted their names for the
Oct. 7 recall ballot by the Saturday deadline. More
than 500 had flirted seriously enough with the idea
to take out the papers needed to run.
The celebrity challengers have been all over
TV: Arnold Schwarzenegger and fonner baseball
commissioner Peter Ueberroth, pom king Larry
Flynt and commentator Arianna Huffmgton have
joined politicians such as Republicans Tom
McClintock and Bill Simon, and Democratic Lt.
Gov. Cruz Bustamante.
But the ballot will stretch on and on with John
and Jane Qs — from lawyers and engineers to
bounty hunters and unemployed workers — who
see Gov. Gray Davis’job as up for grabs. Under
the state’s recall law, drafted during a wave of
reform in 1911, they needed to submit only $3,500
and 65 valid signatures to run, or even less money
with more signatures.
There’s no guarantee that the big-name candi
dates will even appear on the first — or second
or third — page of such a ballot. On Monday, the
secretary of state holds a random drawing to
determine the order in which candidates’ names
will appear.
Davis will lose if he gets 49.9 percent or less on
Oct. 7. With so many challengers on the ballot, the
winner may need much less to become governor.
Then, the top vote-getter will have about 30 days
after the election while the vote is certified before
assuming control.
Some of the political novices may not realize
what they’ve gotten themselves into. Candidates
are required to file financial disclosure forms and
report any donations of $ 1,000 or more to the sec
retary of state’s office within 24 hours.
It’s a misdemeanor punishable by up to a
$10,000 fine to “knowingly and willfully” violate
election rules, but the newcomers will
get cut some slack, said Paul Ryan of the Centei
for Governmental Studies in Los Angeles,
“’Knowingly and willfully’is a very big burden
the state would have to prove,” Ryan said. “1
quite uncommon to see criminal cases in these
matters ... and in this case, with so many novice
candidates, it’s very unlikely there would becrit
inal prosecutions.”
Campaign platforms promise to be all over the map
Leonard Padilla, a bounty hunter from
Sacramento, says he’s got the experience to he
governor — he learned all about key issues lib
drug trafficking and immigration during his yeai
in federal prison.
“1 made a mistake, a big mistake and spent!
year in prison for it, which was very educational"
said Padilla, who says he served time forfailingto
file income taxes for three years.
Padilla said he would cap state salaries al
$60,000 a year, decriminalize drugs and deport
illegal immigrant prisoners. “If we don’t dothis,
we’re going to watch California sink into bank
ruptcy,” he said.
Mountain View resident Georgy Russell, a
Democrat, sells “Georgy for Governor” tap
underwear and coffee mugs on her Web silt,
which features a smiling picture of herself ilU
skimpy T-shirt.
Her slogan: “Brains, Beauty, Leadership.”
Russell hopes to appeal to twentysomethings
with an agenda pushing clean energy, marijuana
legalization and gay marriage.
Michael Jackson, a 39-year-old electrical engi
neer from Long Beach, hopes his name will “open
the door” to a win. His platform: stopping an
“invasion” of illegal immigrants. His ultimategoal
is more personal: “I’ll take my name back and
bring some character and quality to it, instead of
weirdness.”
Contra Costa County Public Defender Paul
Mariano is against the recall — that’s why he’s
running. Mariano, a Democrat, has his own
scheme for restoring his party to power if Davis
loses the recall.
“By voting for me, you would be voting for
Gray Davis because my first act as governor would
be to appoint Davis chief of staff,” Mariano said,
“I’m assuming he will vote for me, too. Whoelseis
he going to vote for?”
Gregory Hines dies at 57
By Tim Molloy
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Gregory
Hines, the greatest tap dancer of
his generation who transcended
the stage with a successful screen
career that included starring roles
in “White Nights” and “The
Cotton Club,” has died at 57.
Hines died of cancer
Saturday in Los Angeles, publi
cist Allen Eichhorn said Sunday.
With his smooth, solo tap
style reminiscent of Fred
Astaire, Hines became interna
tionally known at a young age as
part of a jazz tap duo with his
brother, Maurice. He won a
1992 Tony Award for the musi
cal “Jelly’s Last Jam.”
“His dancing came from
something very real,” said
Bernadette Peters, who
appeared with Hines as co-hosts
of the 2002 Tony Awards show.
“It came out of his instincts, his
impulses and his amazing cre
ativity. His whole heart and soul
went into everything he did.”
Hines and his brother per
formed together in the musical
revue “Eubie!” in 1978, in
Broadway’s “Sophisticated
Ladies” and on film in 1984’s
“The Cotton Club.”
In “The Cotton Club,” Hines
also had a lead acting role,
which led to more offers from
Hollywood. He starred with
Mikhail Baryshnikov in 1985’s
Cold War-era dancers’ story
“White Nights” and with Billy
Crystal in 1986’s “Running
Scared,” and he appeared with
Whitney Houston and Angela
Bassett in 1995’s “Waiting, to
Exhale,” among other movies.
On television, he had his own
series in 1997 called “The
Gregory Hines Show,” as well as
a recurring role on “Will and
Grace.” Last March, he
appeared in the spring television
series “Lost at Home.”
Hines also earned Tony nomi
nations for “Cornin’ Uptown”
and “Sophisticated Ladies,” and
he won a Tony for best actor in a
musical playing jazz legend
“Jelly Roll” Morton in “Jelly’s
Last Jam.”
Hines landed his first film
role in the 1981 Mel Brooks
comedy “History of the World
Part I,” in which he played a
Roman slave. He has since been
nominated for a number of
awards, most recently an Emmy
in 2001 for his lead role in the
miniseries “Bojangles.”
His PBS special, “Gregory
Hines: Tap Dance in America,”
was nominated in 1989, and in
1982 he was nominated for his
performance in “I Love Liberty,” a
variety special saluting America.
He was nominated in 1985 for a
performance on “Motown Returns
to the Apollo.”
Hines dies of cancer
Gregory Hines, 57, known for
his tap dancing in movies,
Broadway and recent roles on
TV sitcoms, has died of cancer.
