more money. This is a coster, not a cost-saver. Even the GOP legislators say that. You'll recall it wasn't even part of a financial bill when rushed through committee?
Strange the Supremes rushed this, as the state GOP created an unprecedented Special Session to try and re-rush this through as part of the budget, with decreased chance at opposition.
But, when you have overtly activist and non-impartial judges, like GOP Supporter Justice David Prosser, it's not unexpected, right Dell?
The Republican petitions have finally been reviewed, they have signatures enough to try and recall only three Dems. Unfortunately, all Republicans received enough signatures for recall, and they will come first. The GOP is mounting fake Dem challengers to force this to be a primary, so August 9 is the date. The Democratic recall election is the second election series. This works against the GOP, as the elections they want to win with huge turnout are the third and fourth - so it may be hard to keep up voter interest in August (vacations, ready for school, etc) Alot of voting to be done by Wisconsin voters this summer.
From Wisconsin GAB:
July 12, 2011 Recall Elections - the Democratic attempt to recall Republican state legislators:
On June 3, 2011, the Government Accountability Board ordered recall elections for July 12, 2011 in the following State Senate Districts:
District 2 -- Senator Robert Cowles
District 8 -- Senator Alberta Darling
District 10 -- Senator Sheila Harsdorf

If more than one person runs against each incumbent, the July 12 election becomes a primary, and the general recall election will be held four weeks later on August 9, 2011.
