Wisconsin Governor's Race: Referendums Designed to Rebuke Walker Will Appear on Election Day Ballots

While these ballot measures-calling for an increase in the minimum wage and for the state to accept federal funding to expand its Medicaid program-are non-binding, organizers hope that the results will reveal a clear preference of the electorate for both. ince his election to the Wisconsin governor's mansion, Scott Walker, together with the Republican-led state legislature, has set out to undo some of the state's progressive hallmarks, especially its hallowed place in labor history as a trailblazer in collective bargaining for public workers.
