Larson Not Eligible for Recall Election
Senators must serve one year before they can be legally recalled.
As the stalemate over Gov. Scott Walker's budget-repair bill continues, several media reports in recent days have focused on the extraordinary high number of state senators who may face recall elections.
But while recalls may be all the rage these days, one senator who won't face one is Chris Larson, who represents Oak Creek.
Larson is ineligible because state law says senators have to be in office for one year before a recall can be initiated. Larson was elected in November.
Larson is one of the 14 Democratic state senators who left the state to stop Walker's bill from passing the Senate.
Recall campaigns have been launched for all 16 senators who are eligible to be recalled - eight Republicans and eight Democrats - according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
That includes Mary Lazich, who represents an area just west of Oak Creek.

If they're not going to show up to do their job then they should be recalled. We don't need cowardly children NOT representing us.

The minority continues to hold the majority hostage. Imagine if the roles were reversed and what the headlines would be. Our illustrious president said 'they are going to have to ride in the back of the bus'. The dems have left the bus and have halted what the majority wants for the sake of a powerful minority. The fact that the public segment and the unions are so powerful makes the cause even stronger that things need to be undone.
Yes-this should be held against them. It is wrong to do what they are doing and I would say that regardless of my politic views.

Run Forest Run. Keep it up! At least until folks realize the dangling carrot of losing 1500 jobs is not even half of the job cuts proposed in the state budget. Those 1500 will be cut anyway. Maybe they are all Walker supporters and all volunteered to take the layoff to show their support. Perhaps all the parents that support Walker could also volunteer to have their kids in classes with 40 kids. Only seems right.

The real embarrasment was Plale who sold out to the republicans on contracts then accepted a position with Walkers administration. I would not vote for him for dogcatcher. I bet he would have sold out on the Wisconsin 14.

It's so interesting that when you actually have a reasonable Democrat ( I know, I thought they were extinct too) they are labeled sell-outs. If cowardly children, who run at the first difficult vote they have to face is not an embarassment I don't know what is. At least Plale showed he wasn't beholden to the union puppet-masters.

Recall Senator Chris Larson!!! He will be eligible for recall after Nov of this year. I am totally disgusted with all the Liberal Antics and especially after the recall election results from last night. They failed to gain control and once again they are acting like 2 year old children. So we will once again spend a whole lot of money to Recall Walker when the people once again have spoken. WOW!!!!
Well after next Tuesday and the GOP gains 2 seats we will be back where we started before 30 plus million dollars were spent.
