The News:<\/b>\u00a0The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) has released a statement in support of Act 10,\u00a0critical collective bargaining reforms\u00a0that were put in place by Governor Scott Walker in 2011.<\/p>\n

WILL was founded in 2011, partially in response to the legal challenges to lawful acts of Governor Walker and the Wisconsin Legislature.<\/p>\n

The Quote:<\/b> WILL President and General Counsel Rick Esenberg, stated, \u201cFor the better part of the last 12 years, no piece of legislation has loomed larger in public policy debates in Wisconsin than Act 10, the collective bargaining reform law passed in 2011. The \u2018Budget Repair Bill,\u2019 introduced by Governor Scott Walker in the first weeks of his first term, represented a fundamental break with the past and a new era for state and local governments in the Badger State and the country. Since then, WILL has been on the forefront of examining the impact of Act 10 on education, the teaching workforce, and puncturing the myths that persist about the law. Now with a new lawsuit, we stand ready to defend the law in the court of law and in the court of public opinion. Because make no mistake, an end to Act 10 would have a devastating effect on the budgets of school districts, municipalities, and Wisconsin\u2019s overall fiscal stability.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
