Another recall effort by Wisconsin Democrats, targeting Republican state senators in reaction to Gov. Scott Walker's anti-public employee union legislation, is coming to a head on Monday, with signatures to be filed against GOP state Sen. Luther Olsen - the third such petition to reach that stage. And in theory, this development could now put majority control of the chamber officially in play.
As the Wisconsin State Journal reports, rural Wautoma substitute teacher Ann Schmidt will file 23,000 signatures, far more than the 14,700 minimum needed, though in practice signature efforts often collect an additional buffer against signatures that could be challenged and disqualified for errors.
