Judge Blocks Implementation of Wisconsin Anti-Union Law — Again
Not that it matters much to the militant dictators running Wisconsin right now. Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi has just blocked — again — Gov. Scott Walker’s (R-WI) new law curtailing public employee unions, after the state Republican leadership moved last Friday to circumvent her previous order that blocked the law on procedural grounds. But that’s not the end of the discussion, as it appears the state will continue to defy the order. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports: “Further implementation of the act is enjoined,” said Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi. She 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 .
