Constant Readers,
On Sunday, I broke the news that the Golden Gate Restaurant Association filed an appeal to Justice Kennedy at the Supreme Court to overturn the Ninth Circuit decision to allow the employer contribution provisions of the SF Health Care Security Ordinance to go into effect.
Well, here's another newscast from Washington, D.C.: Justice Kennedy just gave the City and the Unions until February 20 to respond to the GGRA's appeal.
What does this mean? (1) Minions at the City Attorney's Office will be slaving away this weekend trying to draft response papers in a vain attempt to save this fatally-flawed legislation; (2) Justice Kennedy is taking this issue seriously; and (3) It Has Been Broughten!
