"Galloway is one of four GOP senators now facing recall elections. Her departure leaves the Legislature evenly split 16-16. It comes at the end of the legislative session, but it will change the makeup of committees, including ones that continue to be active when the Legislature is out of session. Fitzgerald said he plans to meet with Miller, D-Monona, on Tuesday to discuss changes.
