Cost of Wisconsin Recalls Exceeds $125M

Counting the $80 million or more spent in the governor's recall race along with the $44 million dropped on state Senate recalls last summer and the additional money spent on the four Senate recall races and a lieutenant governor's recall contest this week, $125 million to $130 million was spent in 2011 and 2012 on recalls, says the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
