This is very bad news for the Republicans, as far as getting turnout to the polls this day.



Governor Scott Walker recall:



Psst ... Dell? The above is definitely a "left wing" blog

And this is game, set and match

Finally the taxpayer wins!

Huh? Are you clueless? Simply completely uninformed about your own state? The taxpayer now pays 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

District 14 -- Senator Luther Olsen

District 18 -- Senator Randy Hopper

Distirct 32 -- Senator Dan Kapanke

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.

July 19, 2011 Recall Elections - the Republican attempt to recall Democratic legislators:

On June 10, 2011, the Government Accountability Board ordered recall elections for July 19, 2011 in the following State Senate Districts:

District 12 -- Senator Jim Holperin

District 22 -- Senator Robert Wirch

Distirct 30 -- Senator Dave Hansen

If more than one person runs against each incumbent, the July 19 election becomes a primary, and the general recall election will be held four weeks later on August 16, 2011.

Stupid me. I should have realized the unions always had the taxpayer's back first and then the worker they represent. When the teachers go on strike year after year it's because they want lower pay and beni's to save the taxpayer a buck. And I always thought it was the other way around.

BTW according to the Governor the bill saves $30 million a year or in Obama text $300 million over 10 years. The public employee gets what amounts to a 8% cut in pay/beni's, bringing them more into line with private sector workers, the people who pay no taxes or receive government support experience no change and the taxpayer, who's been getting it in the backside all these years, gets a break. Let WI serve as the prototype for other States.

The law, which eliminates most of public employees’ collective bargaining rights and requires them to pay more for their health care and pensions

Seriously? You think that a superficial newspaper quote, "The law, which eliminates most of public employees’ collective bargaining rights and requires them to pay more for their health care and pensions" is a valid counterpoint to the actual accounting scoring of the markedly increased cost to taxpayers over the years?

yes!

you know because taxpayers pay for the health care and pensions! Your Vet school failed you as did the schools prior to. If your p's had school vouchers and a choice perhaps your understanding would be better and you wouldn't have falled for the $1 comes back as a $1.60 economic theory. Heck this President is happy with 83 cents on the dollar, in fact he's called it a success.
