Fitzgerald says too much time for signatures

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW)-- Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald filed a complaint Thursday, saying recall organizers were given too much time to gather signatures.

Fitzgerald says the petitions should be due Friday, 60 days from the November 15 start date.

But the Government Accountability Board says the clock did not start ticking until the day after registration, which means signatures can be collected through Saturday.

They are due the next business day, which is Tuesday because of the Martin Luther King holiday.
