Can WI Prevent another "Thomas" - SC Election on Tuesday

The MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL has come out supporting Wisconsin Supreme Court incumbent Louis Butler for re-election tomorrow.  As we lead-paint watchers know, it was Butler who allowed risk-contribution theory to prevail in WI.  The result was "Thomas," which the plaintiff lost.  Directly or indirectly, the "Thomas" personal injury lawsuit helped bring about the pile-on of more than 30 other lead-paint personal injury complaints in the state.  The plaintiffs are represented by Peter Earle, who also participated on the side of the plaintiff in "Thomas."

Justice Butler is opposed by Judge Michael Gabelman who rails against judicial activism.  Judge Gabelman is backed by the state's business interests, including the Wisconsin Manufactures & Commerce. 

A low turnout is predicted tomorrow.  Let's hope that those championing the end of suits like "Thomas" vote this Tuesday.
