Okey dokey. here's some good news: Judge Halts Implementation Of Collective Bargaining Law

MADISON, Wis. -- A Wisconsin judge has ruled that there should be no further implementation of a law taking away nearly all collective bargaining rights for public workers.

Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi said Tuesday that her earlier restraining order saying the law shouldn't be enacted had either been ignored or misinterpreted.

Sumi stopped short of saying the law was not already in effect. She said she will take more testimony on that issue.

The Legislative Reference Bureau posted the law on a legislative website Friday, leading Gov. Scott Walker's administration to declare the law was in effect.

MADISON- Following is the statement of Democratic Party of Wisconsin Chair Mike Tate following the news this afternoon that Dane County Judge Maryann Sumi issued an order blocking further implementation of the budget repair bill.

�Judge Sumi�s order is a clear rebuke of the lawless reign of Scott Walker. He and his Republican lapdogs have behaved as laws unto themselves in their union-busting state-rending power grab. At the end of the day, the law will prevail and the Constitution will endure against all the insult this crew has committed to the rule of law.�
