Michigan Voters May Render Midterm Judgment on Budget-Cutters

Michigan voters angered by budget-balancing moves by Governor Rick Snyder and the Legislature are collecting signatures to force recall elections of the first-term Republican and as many as 19 state lawmakers.

There also are efforts to remove nine Wisconsin senators who fought over limits on collective-bargaining rights for public workers, and a proposed November referendum in Ohio on a law that contains similar strictures.
