** FILE ** In this Dec. 23, 2003 file picture, Spokane's new mayor Jim West takes the oath of office as he is sworn in during a ceremony at Grant Elementary School in Spokane, Wash. West selected the location to be sworn in because he went to the school as a child, and it was a life long dream to become mayor of Spokane. West said he wanted to take Spokane from being a good city to a great city. West, a former Boy Scout executive and sheriff's deputy, says he no longer engages in gay sex and has stopped visiting Internet chat rooms. "I wish there was a rewind button," he told The Associated Press. "Basically, that's what I'm asking the public for: a second chance." However, polls indicate a second chance isn't likely when voters decide Tuesday, Dec. 6, 2005 whether to recall West from office. (AP Photo/Jeff T. Green)
