| Description | Gov. Scott Walker said Wednesday that he may stop filling Dane County judicial vacancies after a second of his appointees was ousted by voters.
Walker told reporters it was "unfortunate" that Dane County Circuit Judge Rebecca St. John lost Tuesday's election. She was defeated by attorney Rhonda Lanford, who used the Walker connection to attack St. John during the campaign.
"The mayor, the (district attorney) and others said that St. John was a great candidate," Walker said. "Unfortunately I think that politics has trumped that."
The Republican governor said he may just allow judicial positions in heavily Democratic Dane County to remain vacant until there's an election. |
