Judge again blocks implementation of collective bargaining law

Madison - A Dane County judge Tuesday blocked the state from implementing Gov. Scott Walker's collective bargaining measure.

"Further implementation of the act is enjoined," said Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi.

Sumi noted her original restraining order issued earlier this month was clear in saying that the state should not proceed with implementing the law. The Walker administration did so after the bill was published Friday by a state agency not included in Sumi's earlier temporary restraining order.

"Apparently that language was either misunderstood or ignored, but what I said was the further implementation of Act 10 was enjoined. That is what I now want to make crystal clear," she said.

But minutes later, outside the court room, Assistant Attorney General Steven Means said the legislation "absolutely" is still in effect.

Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca (D-Kenosha) balked at that statement.

"It's just startling that the attorney general believes you should not follow court orders anymore," he said.

The restraining order is in effect until Friday, when more testimony will be taken. At that point, Sumi could rule on whether the law should be suspended for a longer period.

Sumi noted she has not yet found that lawmakers violated the open meetings law, but noted the Legislature could resolve the matter by passing the bill again. Andrew Welhouse, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau), said there are no plans to try to pass the bill again.

Tuesday's dramatic court maneuvering added yet another twist in the long-running saga that has dominated state politics for nearly two months.

This will most likely wind up going to the Supreme Court.

[Geee]

Same judge who did the first ruling who's son works for the unions.

 

This is very likely going to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, so what happens with the voting for Supreme Court next Tues. is very important! It is the existing justice(conservative)against a very liberal new justice. With all the money in adds that is being spent for her I am really concerned.
