Shocker: Dane County Judge Strikes Down Collective Bargaining Law, Citing "Bad Vibes" or Something
Rule of law.
In a 33-page decision issued Thursday, Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi said she would freeze the legislation because GOP lawmakers on a committee broke the state's open meetings law in passing it March 9.
The legislation limits collective bargaining to wages for all public employees in Wisconsin except for police and firefighters.
"It's what we were looking for," said Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne, a Democrat.
No shit.
As Ben points out in the sidebar, this is a made-up procedural defect, not a made-up substantive defect, so they could just re-pass it.
Of course, the Flegislators will flee again, and they'll just make up some new crap, and etc.
