Wisconsin GOP executive committee members petition for special meeting

The petition seeks a 12 May meeting on employment and board management, three days before the party's Wisconsin Dells convention, as criticism of chair Brian Schimming intensifies.
Brett Galaszewski filed the request after liberal Chris Taylor won an open Wisconsin Supreme Court seat by 20 points, a result critics say exposed fundraising and leadership problems.
Schimming said Republicans would stay focused on the midterms, while party rules allow such a meeting if at least six executive committee members sign a petition.

With a nine-to-one fundraising gap, can a leadership change alone fix the state party's deep financial crisis?
