Recall election set for Wis. governor: ""Scott Walker came into the governor's office promising to create 250,000 jobs, and to bring us together," Barrett wrote in the e-mail. "Instead, he divided our state like never before and presided over a Wisconsin economy that last year lost more jobs than any state in the country."
The election board's 5-0 vote that ordered the election came Friday morning, though the decision had been expected for weeks. The board had already determined there were 900,939 valid signatures on petitions supporting the recall, though only 540,208 were required. The board also ordered recalls for Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch and four Republican state senators.
Walker was targeted for recall after he pushed through a law last year that effectively ended collective bargaining rights for most state workers. It also forced the workers to contribute more to their pension and health-care costs."
