Just FYI for what it's worth. However, the way Republican thugs work this would not surprise me as this is the same thing Bush did.

Can Anyone confirm this? I heard that 16 DA's were let go and were replaced by Walker Appointees (in the past week or so). Source thinks its due to making the justice system more favorable to him.

1. DA's are elected - maybe state attys?

3. Capitol Times website says they are appointed

Although they have been trying for some time to change that to elected D.A.'s

Wisconsin counties used to elect district attorneys every two years. It was a good system.

2. Bush replaced FEDERAL district attorneys. Walker can't do that. Must be state districts.

Texas elects their DA's (by county).

4. If it is an appointed position...
