Twenty-two years ago leaders from the Wisconsin Department of Labor Relations and leaders from the Wisconsin State Employees Union, AFSCME Council 24, saw a need to create better ways to more efficientiy handle their large backlog of routine grievances. Thus they mutually crafted and adopted special arbitration procedures that they have used ever since. When the parties created these customized procedures they obviously believed that doing so would be mutually advantageous. Now, given the passage of time, it is appropriate to ask whether the parties' original vision has been realized. To answer that question advocates, who now have substantial experience using these procedures, were polled concerning their experience with the special arbitration procedures and whether they supported the...

Conservatives and liberals are acting more and more as if they live on different planets. There was a day when they disagreed on solutions to the problems facing the nation but at least agreed on the problems themselves. That is no longer the case. President Obama and his political allies deny that federal spending is anything like the problem that many believe it to be or that the nation is in the midst of a fiscal crisis previous generations never had to face.
What few conservatives seem to realize is that liberals really do not look at the world in the same way that we or most others do. In their view of the world, it is inconceivable that fair-minded, intelligent men and women could take what they see as the preposterous, delusional positions that Republicans, Tea Party members, con...

Testimony filed in Indianapolis Water Co.'s rate case shows the city in 2007 agreed to take on millions of dollars in costs from the private firm it hired to operate the utility, including $48 million in retiree medical plan obligations. CH2M said the department had insufficient staff to manage vast capital projects, gave Veolia "reasonable opportunity to dissuade the department" from publicly bidding certain projects, and lacked long term planning, among other criticisms. DOW was required to pay Veolia $5 million for costs incurred prior to amendment. * DOW agreed to increase fixed-fee payments by $1.9 million, compounded each year by an inflation index more favorable to Veolia. * Veolia offloaded to city the responsibility for pesticide monitoring costs and water conservation progra...

It's a welcome conundrum to have if you're a plaintiff's attorney: making your pitch to a jury for punitive damages.
It often means this group of ordinary people already has agreed with you on the main point of your case and returned a verdict in your favor. Now you move into the phase where you urge jurors to send a message, to punish the defendant, a figure large enough to act as a warning to others not to act in the same reckless or dangerous manner. What do you say?

Emerson Begolly, 22, of Redbank agreed on Tuesday to moving the Virginia case to Pittsburgh so he could plead guilty to soliciting crimes of violence. A federal grand jury in Alexandria, Va., indicted him last month on that charge and another of distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction.
