| Description | Madison – Republicans today launched their first attack on the independence of the Government Accountability Board.
On the first day citizens began circulating recall petitions against Governor Scott Walker, a Republican-led legislative committee today took the first step to overrule multiple GAB decisions that will govern how future elections are administered, threatening forever the autonomy of the non-partisan agency charged with overseeing government ethics and elections.
“Today is the day Scott Walker’s political cronies walked away from a bipartisan deal to create the independent GAB that I am proud to say I was a part of creating,” said State Representative Mark Pocan (D-Madison), who helped form the Government Accountability Board in 2007. |
