Sen. Julie Lassa safe as final recall drive fails

Associated Press | Posted: Monday, May 16, 2011 10:20 am

Recall drives have ended with the last petition targeting a Wisconsin Democratic senator for leaving the state in protest of an anti-union bill falling short.

An organizer for the effort to recall Sen. Julie Lassa of Stevens Point says the group collected a third of the signatures needed to trigger a recall election. The deadline was Monday.

That leaves six GOP senators in line for recalls because of their support or opposition to a bill that would curtail collective bargaining rights for most public employees. A judge has blocked the law from taking effect. Three Democratic senators also face recall elections..................

3. One-third the required number? Pathetic

You don't suppose they mounted these recall petitions as revenge and not because they really thought Sen. Lassa should be recalled, do you? Hopefully nobody in the local media will greet these clowns with the pointing and laughing they deserve, because that would make the poor dears feel oh-so-humiliated.
