Supreme Court ruling delays in Wisconsin governor case
The Supreme Court, on the 18th, delivered a written opinion overruling the motion to dismiss the Dashford case for lack of jurisdiction, while Barstow’s counsel sought more time to plead. The ruling implies all acts of Bashford as governor would be void upon final decision and prompts a delay until Thursday the 21st. Legislative business moves slowly with university lands appraisals and school fund management amid ongoing bills.
