Signatures Verified, Recall Election For Trempealeau County DA Set

The Wisconsin Elections Commission has scheduled a recall election for the Trempealeau County district attorney for October 2nd.  Leaders of the Recall Taavi McMahon Committee submitted petitions containing more than 31-hundred signatures, well over the number needed.  Organizers of the recall effort are Osseo Police Chief William Prudlick and Osseo Police Officer Dan McQuillan.  They cited three reasons for the recall — McMahon’s failure to effectively prosecute cases, his lack of preparedness leading to cases being thrown out, and a finding of prosecutorial misconduct by a judge.
