Children in Wisconsin want year around election seasons.

The lefties in Wisconsin are droning on about yet another recall, this time for Gov. Scott Walker, LT. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch. They're still licking their wounds over losing the election, and the last round of recalls, and a state supreme court election (that they turned into a referendum on the governor)... which they failed in their goals every time.
What they want to do is throw the whole term of service system out the window, and force an election every year... of course, until the little babies get their way (and win an election), then they'll sit fat and happy in their smelly diapers, sucking on their binkies.
Their major gripes revolve around Act 10, but they have pretty much made it clear that almost every law passed by the Republican controlled Legislature, and the Governor will be challenged in court, as well as protested and lobbied (even though they claim to be against lobbyists).
What is it really about? A bunch of children who would rather have a never ending election cycle than accept the fact that their guy lost.
Boo Hoo!!! Get over it!

Obviously I don't live in your state so all I know is what I read about in the press and see in the media. I must admit that from what I do know I'd be one of the signers of the petition to recall you governor as I'd have signed the petitions for some of the other recalls. Anyway, it seems to me that for better or for worse your state has set it up so recalls like these are possible and legal. If voters are engaged in the process how is that a bad thing? Unlike many other places, they at least have a second chance to undo some of what THEY see as damage done.
It's interesting that you'd attack these people for not accepting the fact their guy lost! Where have we seen this scenario play out before...hmmm...?

What you have been reading are the lies of thieves.
There isn't a single honest reason to recall Gov. Walker, and the fact that he BABIES in this state would rather perpetuate the corruption than help clean it up prove my point.
So far Act 10 has exposed...
Scams between school administrators, teachers and school boards that allow them to "retire", the be rehired to the same job, so they can collect both pension and paycheck.
Another scam is called "stacking", done mostly by people who work at the prisons. Stacking is, calling in sick for your regular shift, then working 2nd or 3rd shift the same day. This means the stacker gets paid sick pay for the day, then also paid (at the over time rate) for the shift they work. It also costs the taxpayers more, because someone is also getting paid overtime for taking the day shift for the lying "stacker". Worse yet, the 2nd or 3rd shift doesn't necessarily need the extra person, but they have to let them work anyway.
Yet another scam, Medical Insurance for the teachers union members is provided by the union owned "Insurance Trust". School districts have had no choice but to use the Insurance Trust for all school employees' Medical Insurance. After Act 10 was passed, school boards were free to shop around for better rates. Because they were forced to compete with private insurance, the Insurance Trust officials offered to match any private insurance premiums for the same coverage.
The bill to the school districts has come down 100s of thousands of dollars.. for the same coverage offered to the same amount of people. Over the years, the unions have gouged the taxpayers of Wisconsin to the tune of BILLIONS.
All I have to do is see what is going on in Illinois to be glad we have a Governor like Scott Walker. Illinois is doing exactly what the unionistas insist we do here.
Apparently a laid off teacher is better off than a teacher who is working.

The taxpayers are saving $75,570,300 a year in medical insurance payments alone.

True!
The savings in medical insurance benefits alone saves the taxpayers $75,570,300, and that doesn't cost the employees a dime.
