Wall Street Journal: Wisconsin's secretary of state said a bill taking away public workers' collective-bargaining rights will take effect on March 26, the latest day possible.
Secretary of State Doug La Follette said Monday that he decided to publish the law, the final step needed for it to take effect, on March 25 so that schools and local governments have time to pass contract extensions between now and then.
Gov. Scott Walker signed the bill on Friday and had asked Mr. La Follette to publish the law Monday, but Mr. La Follette said he saw no emergency that would make it necessary for him to do so.
Mr. La Follette said he heard from many schools, cities and counties urging him to delay enactment of the law as long as possible.
