Wednesday, former CNN anchor and current Oro Valley Town Councilman Lou Waters got into a physical altercation with a member of the public who was part of the small contingent delivering recall petitions to Town Hall against Mayor Satish Hiremath. Waters, who himself is the subject of a recall, joined other supporters of Hiremath in forming a gauntlet through which recall organizers were forced to walk.
According to sources, after a local morning talk show revealed that the organizers of the recall would be delivering the recall petitions to Town Hall, supporters of Hiremath organized an intimidation campaign. Oro Valley plain clothes officers as well as uniformed patrol men stood by as the group of about 10 residents walked through the narrow path created by Hiremath supporters wearing red t-shirts while Waters moved close to residents to snap their pictures in what was described as an even more intimidating manner.
