In reply to Wisconsin Collective Bargaining Law Subject To Temporary Restraining Order

The law severely restricting collective bargaining for Wisconsin's public employees has been temporarily enjoined by Judge Maryann Sumi of the Dane County Circuit Court (Sumi was appointed by former Republican governor Tommy Thompson). The ruling, apparently not yet pubished, does not determine the ultimate merits of the law, but rather is based on the court's finding that it is more likely than not that the manner in which the bill was passed was in violation of the State's Open Meetings Law, and also that the equities of blocking the bill outweighed the costs of the blocking. It will undoubtedly be appealed and/or Republicans in the legislature could try to bring it up again for a vote.
