Media Alert WEA uses HB 2079 gift at SCOTUS
It seems we now know why HB 2079 was such an emergency for Governor Gregoire.
After the media and public were assured for months by Democrat legislators that HB 2079 would not affect the Supreme Court case of Washington v. WEA, we learned today that the WEA filed a supplemental brief with the Supreme Court, asking the Court to limit the application of Section 760 to past union actions and arguing that the law, as amended by HB 2079, is now constitutional. The WEA filed its request on Friday, May 11—the same day Gregoire signed 2079 into law.
