Blame the Cost of Recall Elections on Scott Walker and Fitzgerald brothers.

I am so tired of hearing "democracy is too expensive," from the guys who tanked the economy with overspending and deregulation. Maybe if they listened to the public's dissatisfaction and compromised, not one penny would have been spent on throwing these ideologues out. It's time we hunted them down, and voted them out.

Check out Rep. Robin Vos' incitive appeal to all the tightwad conservatives, who are so worried about the cost of their own actions, that they're resorting to threats, vandalism and now phony surprise.

jsonline: "It's about time taxpayers learned the cost of these unnecessary recall elections. The citizens of Wisconsin should have known the estimated cost on local governments before a single petition was circulated. Is this how they want their valuable taxpayer dollars spent?" Vos said in a statement.

Sorry, but this was all the Walker administrations doing. But this isn't the first time we've been handed wildly inaccurate estimates.

The accountability board said the costs of reviewing the signatures, validating them and then holding a recall election would run to $841,000 for the state, $2.3 million for counties, and $5.8 million for local governments. The survey covered all 72 counties in the state and also got responses from 92% of the state's 1,850 municipalities. A statewide recall election against Gov. Scott Walker could cost $9 million or more, election officials estimate.

If this is all too expensive, take it up with the governor. It's all his fault.

Think about this too; the activist judge in Waukesha County just save Walker and the Republican Party the cost of checking the recall petitions, leaving it up to the GAB and taxpayers, giving Walker a lot of extra spending cash for his campaign.
