Wisconsin Officials Get More Time to Study Recall Petitions

Wisconsin election officials were given 11 more days to review petitions seeking the recall of Governor Scott Walker, according to a copy of an agreement provided by the state attorney general’s office.

Walker, a first-term Republican, Lieutenant Governor Rebecca Kleefisch and four state senators, including Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, are the targets of the recall drive started after Fitzgerald secured the passage of a bill limiting public employee collective bargaining rights, signed by the governor a year ago.
