YUMA -- A judge ruled that a city council candidate in Arizona must be removed from the ballot due to lack of English proficiency.The ruling on Wednesday came after the San Luis City Council approved a motion Jan. 13 asking for verification that Alejandrina Cabrera met the requirement of a state law that any person holding office in the state, a county or city must speak, write and read English.San Luis Mayor Juan Carlos Escamilla filed a lawsuit in December asking the court to determine if Cabrera's English skills were sufficient to qualify her to seek the four-year council seat in the city's primary election.Cabrera, who last year launched two unsuccessful attempts to recall Escamilla as mayor, was one of 10 candidates to file petitions to run for the council.The Yuma Sun reported the removal of Cabrera from the ballot also stemmed from a Dec. 14 complaint made by former mayor Guillermina Fuentes that Cabrera isn't fluent in English.Read more: http://www.azcentral.com/news/politics/articles/2012/01/26/20120126arizona-candidate-cabrera-off-ballot-over-english-skills.html#ixzz1kfoXQC2N
The complaintant pre-emptively wrecks the reflex counter-indictment of the lefties.
