Don’t know about the state my self, but you can bet it is an overt case of judge shopping.
Without a doubt.
They needed a ‘sympathetic ear’ and they found one.
It’s the same judge that said that the striking teachers created no ‘damage’ to the education system by protesting.
Even though it’s against state law for teachers to strike.
Saying they are ‘protesting’ is just a cop out word for a strike.
