| Description | MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The Wisconsin Senate’s Republican leader said it might have been illegal for United Wisconsin to get people to commit to signing recall petitions against Governor Scott Walker.
The group says over 200,000 people have signed pledges – and Scott Fitzgerald says it amounts to gathering recall signatures outside of the 60-day time period required by state law.
The state Government Accountability Board would be the one to decide if the commitment pledges were legal or not. Board attorney Mike Haas said it could be part of the process of evaluating the petition signatures themselves. |
