Group submits recall Hopper petitions

Organizers have turned in their petitions to recall another Republican state Senator. About 25,000 petition signatures were brought to the Government Accountability Board in Madison Thursday afternoon by a group working to remove Senator Randy Hopper from office.

The Fond du Lac Republican is being targeted because of his vote in favor of a bill stripping public workers of collective bargaining rights.

Organizer Scott Dillman says they only needed a little over 15,000 signatures to trigger the recall. He says the number they gathered should send a message that the Senator failed to recognize what his constituents actually wanted him to do.

Hopper is the second Republican lawmaker to have a petition turned in against him. Last week, a group submitted signatures to recall Senator Dan Kapanke of La Crosse. Other efforts are still active across the state against six more Republican and eight Democratic Senators.
