From the Huffington Post:
Democratic State Sen. Dave Hansen Wins First Wisconsin Recall Election!
Sen. Hansen’s victory is a validation of the lengths he and the rest of the ‘Wisconsin 14’ went to in their efforts to stall the Wisconsin GOP’s extreme right-wing, anti-working family agenda,” said Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee Executive Director Michael Sargeant. “His constituents understand that he fights for them, not for extreme ideologues.”
There are the nuts and bolts. Scott Walker and crew did their best to recall Sen. Hanson’s last election victory, to no avail. This victory will probably be the first of many for Democrats who stood their ground for public employees. Wisconsin is a union state and things like what happened in Madison last winter just do not sit well.
Three Democratic state senators are being targeted for recall and each have at least $140,000 in the bank, according to spending reports filed Monday with state election officials.
Insulting public employees is just not the way to impress voters. Walker and his gang need to find another way to balance their state budget, rather than doing it on the backs of the public employees.
