Fire Destroys We Are Wisconsin PAC Offices in La Crosse; Recall Efforts Subdued
Fire officials in La Crosse are continuing to investigate a Saturday blaze that destroyed the regional offices of We Are Wisconsin, a union political action committee (PAC) that has pumped millions of dollars into supporting Democratic candidates in the upcoming recall elections.
The La Crosse Tribune reports that the cause of the fire, which started at about 9:30 a.m., remains unknown. Firefighters thought they had the blaze under control in the afternoon, however, that wasn't the case and it continued into the evening, the newspaper reported.
We Are Wisconsin used the building at 432 Jay St. to oversee its efforts in the 32nd Senate District recall election, which will be held Aug. 9. Incumbent Republican state Sen. Dan Kapanke is being challenged by Democratic state Rep. Jennifer Shilling in that district.
A spokesman for the group told the La Crosse Tribune that the group's office was a total loss.
We Are Wisconsin is a political action committee made up by a coalition of unions that has spent more than $2 million supporting Democratic recall candidates around Wisconsin, according to the Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.

It's not like it hasn't happened before LJ, remember what happened in the Denver Democrat headquarters that they tried, as you are here, to pin it on Republicans only to find out it was one of their own? Perhaps if Democrats had less of a track record of such actions there would be less incentive to believe that they have simply done it again.LadyJazzer wrote: Yes, no doubt you would think that...
