From the Wall Street Journal:
Democratic officials in Wisconsin have filed a second legal challenge to the legislative process that facilitated the passage of Gov. Scott Walker’s “budget repair bill.”
The Dane County District Attorney on Wednesday filed a lawsuit in circuit court alleging that Republican senators didn’t give proper notice of a meeting last week in which they passed the bill, which curtails collective-bargaining rights for public-employees unions.
District Attorney Ismael R. Ozanne, a Madison-based Democrat, said in a complaint filed Wednesday afternoon that Republicans posted notice of the meeting less than 24 hours before it began, in violation of state law.
Mr. Ozanne is seeking an injunction blocking the Wisconsin secretary of state from publishing the law as well as a ruling that would void it.
A spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Republicans “are fully confident that every law was followed.”
