571 tax delinquents signed Wisconsin Gov. Walker recall petitions. They owe $17 million in unpaid taxes

5/10/12, "571 tax delinquents owing $17 million signed Walker recall petitions," Legal Insurrection, William A. Jacobson

"Via MacIver Institute:

"The list of delinquents is here."

"After refining the dataset created by Verify the Recall, a Wisconsin man began running it against other public records and discovered 571 tax delinquents signed Recall petitions.

His findings? The total in back taxes owed by petitioners is more than $17 million. The list of individuals can be found through the website, www.putwisconsinfirst.com

Before Put Wisconsin First began releasing its databases, petition signers initially tried to convince the Government Accountability Board not to release copies of the recall petitions to the public at all. Signers then criticized Put Wisconsin First and Verify the Recall for creating searchable databases of the petitioners’ names. Now that Put Wisconsin First is running their names against other public records, they really aren’t happy. The site has received plenty of hate mail."...
