Madison - On Wednesday, the Government Accountability Board (GAB) certified recall elections for three state senate Democrats. The election will take place in July 19. The GAB determined there were sufficient signatures for a recall election for each of the following Senate Democrats, Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin and Robert Wirch.
Last week, the GAB certified the recall elections for six Senate Republicans, Alberta Darling, Randy Hopper, Robert Cowles, Luther Olsen, Sheila Harsdorf and Dan Kapanke. Their recall election will take place on July 12.
Governor Scott Walker (R) will be facing a recall himself after he completes one year in office. Walker signed into law Act 10, which eliminates most collective bargaining rights for most state employees.
Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi, recently ruled Act 10 was passed in a state legislative meeting that violated open meetings law, thus voiding Act 10. State legislators failed to give 24 hours notice for the meeting.
The State Supreme Court heard arguments about the case. The court has yet to decide, if it will take up the case.
The Republicans have been recall for voting to eliminate collective bargaining rights for most state employees. The Democrats are being recall for leaving the state for a month to stall a vote to eliminate union state employees to engage in collective bargaining.
