In denying the Legislature\u2019s motion to dismiss, the Court signaled a desire to strike \u201call of the collective bargaining changes in the Act\u201d and in the process, established a framework for gutting rational basis review. This week, Judge Frost granted Plaintiffs\u2019 Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, effectively killing most of Act 10. The signature reform of the Walker era that has saved the state and local units of government close to $17 billion is at risk of being overturned by the state\u2019s progressive judiciary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Next:<\/strong> The Legislature has signaled it is appealing the decision to the more friendly Waukesha-based District II Court of Appeals. A District II decision overturning Judge Frost\u2019s decision could then be appealed to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, where certain members, such as Justice Protasiewicz, have already indicated a desire to overturn Act 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/reforminggovernment.org\/dane-county-judge-strikes-down-act-10\/ What Happened: In July, as Wisconsinites prepared for the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":120,"featured_media":14256,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14254","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-institute-for-reforming-government"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/120"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14254"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14254\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14257,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14254\/revisions\/14257"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
