Newsom Already Eyeing Another Bid
Less than three months on the job and California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is already prepping to run for governor again, according to Matier and Ross.
“A city insider who asked not to be named tells us the new lieutenant governor approached him at a charity fundraiser the other day with a request for help to start raising money for a renewed gubernatorial bid.”
Judge Halts Wisconsin Law (Again)
The judge who recently issued an injunction halting the implementation of Wisconsin’s collective bargaining law has told the state for a second time to stop implementing the measure, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
Said Judge Maryann Sumi: “Apparently that language was either misunderstood or ignored, but what I said was the further implementation of Act 10 was enjoined. That is what I now want to make crystal clear.”
AP: “Walker and the GOP have aggressively pushed forward their effort to remove the bargaining rights of state workers, using a surprise parliamentary maneuver to break a weeks-long stalemate to get it passed and then finding another route to publish the law after Sumi’s order blocked the secretary of state from doing so.”
