GAB gets 30 day extension to process Walker recall signatures

The Government Accountability Board has been granted an extra 30 days to process Scott Walker and Rebecca Kleefisch recall signatures

The GAB asked for at least 60 or more days to complete its official review. The GAB hopes it can finish scanning recall petitions for both Governor Walker and Lt. Governor Kleefisch, and turn them over to Walker's attorneys by January 27th.

Once the GAB finishes scanning the petitions, it must then verify the signatures for "correctness and completeness" before they are made available to the public.

Governor Walker and Lt. Governor Kleefisch will get 30 days to challenge recall signatures. Republican state senators are also being given a 20 day extension for challenging recall signatures.

GRAFTON — 17-year-old Grafton High School basketball player Josh Davis-Joiner died at basketball practice early last week, and Tuesday night, the team had their first home game since that tragic day.

The high intensity warmup, seemed like the usual build up before a Grafton High School home basketball game, but if you took a closer look at the number on the backs, of both teams’ jerseys, it was 32.

The Grafton community mourned Davis-Joiner at the first home game since the varsity defensive standout collapsed and died at practice Monday of last week.

There was a moment of silence in Davis-Joiner’s honor Tuesday night. It was a moment louder than the roar of any crowd. “He touched so many lives, it’s incredible,” one Grafton student said.
