GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) — Police in Green Bay are looking into a burglary at an office used by a group seeking to recall Democratic State Senator Dave Hansen.

Authorities say it most likely happened between 5 p.m. Thursday and 8 a.m. on Friday.

In an e-mail, group organizer David Vander Leest says petitions, t-shirts and a computer were taken from the office at 1136 West Mason Street.

Vander Leest also blamed the incident on the “opposition of Recall Dave Hansen.”

How convenient, last week the group announced they had enough petitions to recall Dem Sen. Dave Hansen.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (WTAQ) — The “Recall Dave Hansen” committee says it has collected enough signatures to initiate a new election. The group says it has collected 15,000 signatures.

Dave Vander Leest from Green Bay has been leading the charge and expects to file the paperwork next week. Vander Leest says he started the recall effort because he was “irritated that they were making heroes out of Senators leaving the state and going AWOL.”

Vander Leest says Tea Party groups along with conservative minded people helped with the effort.

To initiate a new recall election, the group needed 13,852, which represents 25% of the number of people who voted in the last election.
