Has WI Gov. Walker killed his own bill?

Has WI Gov. Walker killed his own bill?

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker and his allies have published Walker's controversial bill limiting the rights of public unions to collectively bargain, in spite of a state judge's restraining order against publication of the bill by Secretary of State Doug LaFollette. Supporters of the bill have appealed Judge Maryann Sumi's stay against the bill's publication, but on Saturday, they bypassed the judge's ruling by having the bill published by a different agency, Wisconsin's Legislative Reference Bureau. Typically, publication is the final step before a bill becomes a law.
