Suspicious Fire Destroys Offices of We Are Wisconsin PAC
Just ten days before the recall elections in Wisconsin, the offices of We Are Wisconsin PAC in LaCrosse have been completely gutted by fire . 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. Color me very cynical about this. Very.
