Dem recalls certified
The GAB has certified the recall elections of Dem Sens. Dave Hansen, Jim Holperin and Bob Wirch.
The board certified 15,540 signatures for the recall of Hansen, 19,255 for Holperin and 17,138 for Wirch.
The GAB set elections for July 19.
The board met for nearly nine hours today and struck a couple hundred signatures from the petitions, but ultimately the efforts surpassed the signature threshold to implement the recalls.
Jeremy Levinson, attorney for the Dems, said he hasn't had the chance to speak to his clients yet about the prospect of an appeal.
