The Wisconsin Attorney General opinion discusses the recall process for city officers and the required number of signatures. It argues the statute should read equal in number to at least one third of the entire vote cast for governor citywide ward or district to recall an alderman, which would make the petition for Alderman Hans Ambly potentially sufficient. A legislative bill to correct the law has been introduced and is expected to pass.
