Wisconsin: Milwaukee Mayor and Democratic candidate against Scott Walker in 2012 facing recall efforts

Four-term Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who ran as the Democratic candidate in the 2012 Scott Walker recall election, is facing a petition partly led by one of the leaders of a group called the "Original Black Panthers of Milwaukee." The petition complains about crime, lead exposure in water pipes and the Milwaukee Streetcar project. Petitioners would need over 51,000 signatures in 60 days.
