Scott Walker Banks on AIG Mogul to Fight Recall
On Tuesday afternoon, Grassroots groups and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin will unveil their signature haul in the effort to recall Gov. Scott Walker and Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch. They need at least 540,208 signatures to trigger recall elections for Walker and Kleefsich, but it's clear they've easily surpassed that mark.
So where will Walker be when the final signature tally is announced? In the state capital or the governor's mansion, standing his ground and defending his record? Nope. He'll be in New York City at the world headquarters of the megabank Citigroup raising money for his recall defense effort.
Tuesday's Walker fundraiser, first reported by the New York Daily News, is hosted by no less than Hank Greenberg, the former CEO of American International Group, the global insurance corporation that needed $150 billion in bailout funds in 2008 and 2009 from the Treasury Department and Federal Reserve. The cost of attending is $2,500 per person or $5,000 per couple.

MADISON - "It is a baseless recall."
With that, Gov. Scott Walker gave his reaction to the submission of hundreds of thousands of signatures on petitions to bring about a recall election against Walker on Tuesday.
"We're going to get a chance to do what's never been done before: be elected twice in the same term."
Speaking from New York, Walker gave his thoughts on the political climate surrounding the debate, including reported disruptions of his appearance at a Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. event in Madison.
"It's one thing to inform a debate with a difference of opinion. It's completely different to disrupt the debate. That's what you have, particularly when you have people from out of state with out of state money...driven by big government unions."
