A judge overseeing a challenge brought by unions trying to undo Wisconsin’s law that bans nearly all collective bargaining for public workers appears to have signed a petition in 2011 to recall then-Gov. Scott Walker from office because of anger over that law.
FILE - Mary Kay Baum joins hundreds of labor union members at a rally to protest the collective bargaining measures of Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker ’s administration at the Wisconsin State Capitol Building in Madison, Wis., Aug. 25, 2011. A Wisconsin judge is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday, May 28, 2024, in a case brought by unions representing teachers and public workers who are trying to end the state’s near-total ban on collective bargaining for most public employees.
Frost was appointed to the bench in 2020 by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. Evers defeated Walker in 2018. In 2011, at the time of the recall petition, Frost was working as a private practice attorney after graduating law school in 2010.Tuesday afternoon in response to a motion filed by the Republican-controlled Legislature seeking to dismiss the lawsuit. He said he would issue a decision in the coming weeks.
There is precedent for a judge who signed the petition hearing a lawsuit related to a Walker-backed law.for not disclosing his support of the recall before he issued a temporary restraining order against a Walker-backed voter ID law. The Wisconsin Republican Party filed a complaint with the state Judicial Commission, arguing that Flanagan should have revealed that he signed the petition.
