So to make a long story short, an enabling constitutional amendment referendum is now in the works?
It’s going to take a lot of lifting to roll back the education/government cabal in Wisconsin.
BUT this did happen during this battle [note last sentence]:
“...Walker was represented by the state Department of Justice, which is headed by newly elected Attorney General Brad Schimel. A spokeswoman for Schimel said he was likely to appeal the decision.
Lester Pines, the attorney who brought the case, said he was confident the appeals court’s decision would stand.
“I think the governor would be well advised and the attorney general would be well advised not to ask the Supreme Court to waste its time and reverse its own decision from 1996,” Pines said.
Pines said lawmakers should pay close attention to the decision as they consider school accountability legislation. Pines said he is monitoring the debate on that issue and will “absolutely” sue if he believes the final product interferes with the school superintendent’s constitutional powers.
“The new review process for administrative rules has a minimal effect for most state agencies because they are already controlled by the governor. But the 2011 law also gives the governor a say for the first time in rules written by independent agencies, such as Schimel’s Department of Justice and the Government Accountability Board, which oversees state ethics and elections laws.”
