The man who launched a petition drive to oust United Conservative Party legislature member Angela Pitt says she needs to go because she’s not getting the job done.

Airdrie, Alta., resident Derek Keenan says it’s not a political issue, and he doesn’t want Pitt replaced as the MLA for Airdrie-East by someone in the NDP.

Rather, he says it’s because Pitt has become less responsive to community issues and concerns, and he doesn’t think people are being listened to.

Pitt, who has represented Airdrie in the legislature for a decade, has said she takes her job seriously and that she’s focused on doing what her party campaigned on, including growing the economy and lowering taxes.

The recall petition against Pitt is one of two to be approved in recent weeks against sitting members of the government caucus.
