While Walkers name is not on any of the ballots, his agenda provoked the
record number of recall elections, and they are seen as a referendum on
his policies, Franklin said. If Republicans suffer a net loss of three
seats, Democrats will control the state Senate, blunting Walkers agenda.
.
$30 Million
.
The nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign predicts $30 million will be
spent by pro- and anti-recall forces on tomorrows elections, most from
outside interest groups eager to influence a fight that embodies national
political divisions. Two of 14 Democrats who left the state to try to
block a vote on Walkers collective bargaining bill face separate recall
votes on Aug. 16.
.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, also a Republican, drew national
attention by challenging teacher unions in his state. In Wisconsin, Walker
has been battling public employee unions and their compensation packages
for almost a decade, starting with his election as Milwaukee County
executive in 2002.

Democratic Opponent
.
Most public employee unions supported Walkers Democratic opponent,
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, in the 2010 election. Walker mobilized
Republican majorities in the Wisconsin Legislature to eliminate a
two-year, $3.6 billion budget deficit by cutting spending and not raising
taxes. The signature move was his unexpected plan to curb collective
bargaining for public employee unions other than those representing police
and firefighters.

The governor was unavailable to comment for this article, said his press
secretary, Cullen Werwie.
.
Recall Walker bumper stickers are a common sight on automobiles, even
though, under state law, the governor cannot be removed until hes been in
office for one year. As Walker spoke at Devils Lake State Park on June 27,
a sailboat floated behind him with RECALL WALKER emblazoned on the
mainsail. Booing protesters confronted him at the reopening of a highway
rest stop in Beloit on July 19, also demanding his recall.
