Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is surrounded by scandal and controversy as the date to begin a drive to remove him from office is just one month away.

The governor's personal approval ratings collapsed months ago, after he launched attacks on the state's civil service system and its collective bargaining laws. Walker's attempt to replace the state's good-government tradition with a pay-to-play politics that rewards cronies and campaign contributors drew hundreds of thousands of Wisconsinites into the streets and led to the eventual removal of two of his closest legislative allies in summer recall elections.

Walker could not be recalled until one year after his Jan. 3, 2011, inauguration as the state's governor. Under Wisconsin law, that means that Wisconsinites seeking to remove Walker can begin gathering recall petitions in the first week of November.

The timing could not be worse for the governor, who now seems to be resigned to facing a fight to retain his position.
