A mediator ordered the Dayton Administration to pay the legal bills for the plaintiffs against his “unionization by decree” stunt.<\/p>\n
From a news release from MN Majority (with emphasis added):<\/p>\n
Governor Dayton and the Bureau of Mediation Services yesterday settled to reimburse $60,000 in attorneys\u2019 fees to the home-based child care providers who sued to halt Governor Dayton\u2019s unlawful executive order establishing a unionization procedure for the providers. In Swanson, et al. v. Dayton, et al, the court found that the governor\u2019s executive order exceeded his constitutional authority<\/strong>, struck down the order and awarded attorneys\u2019 fees to the prevailing plaintiffs. The Administration paid these fees in compliance with a Minnesota Court of Appeals\u2019 order earlier this year which said the fees were owed because the Governor was not merely wrong in issuing this unionization order, but had no substantial legal justification to do so at all<\/strong> under Minnesota\u2019s Constitution and laws.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Mark Dayton: \u00a0The Law and the Constitution are for peasants.<\/p>\n
The providers aren’t done:<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/span>Plaintiff home-based child care provider Hollee Saville said: \u201cThis is a great day for the small-business child care providers who resisted the schemes to force unionization, dues and fees on our entire industry, and we plan to continue to resist the new unionization legislation, which is also unlawful.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
And I love the closing quote so much, I’m going to add emphasis to it:<\/p>\n
Plaintiff Becky Swanson commented further on the fee payment made yesterday. \u201cThis fee payment illustrates that the real \u2018extremist\u2019 in the child care unionization scheme is the Governor, who ignored the constitutional limitations on his own authority to do political favors for his union friends<\/strong>, not us self-employed child care providers who resisted this overreach, and whom he arrogantly derided as \u2018right wing extremists.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s the only line they know.<\/p>\n
Suck it, commies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
