First Recall Petitions Filed in Wisconsin

Halfway there, one down. Via Taegan-

Wisconsin Democrats will file petitions today with enough signatures to trigger a recall election of state Sen. Dan Kapanke (R), one of eight Senate Republicans targeted over votes to curtail collective bargaining rights for public workers, the La Crosse Tribune reports.

“The filing comes just before the halfway point in the 60-day window the recall committee had to gather signatures in the district.”

Kapanke has said the recall is “part of the process,” adding “I love campaigns. I just didn’t think I’d do one every year.”
