DAVID PROSSER — Person of the Week.
From archives: [Unionists reacted in earlier confrontations against Wisconsin governor Scott — photo from Doug Ross Journal.] 
“State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser emerged as the winner Friday over challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg in a heated election that drew national attention because of the fight over collective bargaining and a ballot reporting error in Waukesha County.”… [From the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel.]
This was a major fight pitting the nation’s powerful public employee unions, as well as private ones, against the forces in Wisconsin that are trying to reform the political system in order to begin to control out-of-control spending there…
For future general elections and in currently underway recall elections in the state, does this portend the real mood of the Wisconsin electorate or is this a mere skirmish that will be but a belch in the ongoing budget battles?
