AG Seeks Stay of Act 10 Court Decision

J.B. Van Hollen today asked a Dane County judge to stay his decision overturning the guv’s collective bargaining changes as the attorney general appeals that ruling.
The Department of Justice argued in a brief that granting a stay would provide certainty for municipalities and school districts in determining employee compensation, work rules and their budgets “without having the rug pulled out from under them if this Court’s decision is reversed.”
The agency noted at some point litigation over Act 10 will be over “and there will be a definitive answer as to whether it meets the requirements of state and federal constitutions.” A stay would ensure state law is followed “unless and until it has been invalidated for our state’s appellate courts after full consideration.”
“In the meantime, it does not serve the public interest for parts of the law to be invalidated only to have them restored on appeal,” DOJ wrote.
