    The Budget Repair Bill was published by the Wisconsin Legislative Reference Bureau on their website on Friday, bringing into question whether it would take effect today or not.  Assembly Speaker Scott Fitzgerald believe is would, citing state law that requires any law to be published within 10 days of being voted on.  However, Stephen Miller - Director of the Legislative Reference Bureau - and Secretary of State Doug LaFollette  both urge caution, noting that existing laws also say a new law isn't effective until it is published in the state's official newspaper - the Wisconsin State Journal.  It is unclear at this time how this will effect Local 474, but we will bring you more information as it becomes available.
