This is not about the meat of the law, just the process by which they passed the bill - the open meetings law.

The legislature could just do it all over again, which I'm sure they will.

Judge Maryann Sumi temporarily halts Wisconsin union law - Meredith Shiner - POLITICO.com

Quote:
“It seems to me the public policy behind effective enforcement of the open meeting law is so strong that it does outweigh the interest, at least at this time, which may exist in favor of sustaining the validity of the (law),” Sumi said

This is good news. Those workers don't deserve to have this done to them and it wasn't going to balance the budget anyway.
It never was about balancing the budget.

Sad news for the government employees.
Wisconsin state and local governments will be the next Costa Mesa, CA. 45% of the city's employees were laid off due to the unsustainable costs of retaining them.

If it wasnt going to contribute to balancing the budget, then what did Walker do to them?

p.s. again people, does anyone know if this has ANYTHING to do with the unions because the union changes were done outside of the budget process.
