Emails obtained through the Wisconsin Open Records law indicate former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk emailed all county employees and circuit court judges, including Circuit Court Judge Maryann Sumi, with a memo announcing her intention to file suit against Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill.And she got shot down by the State Supreme Court. Her activism should be a warning to those whose cases may come before her that if they're on the wrong side of liberal political correctness they probably cannot expect justice to be done.
In response, Falk received three responses from court employees. Kathy Melzer and Elaine Creager responded with encouraging notes. Peter Anderson replied with “doubts about the appropriateness of sending a message about filing a legal action to the judges of the circuit court where the action is likely to be filed.”
Anderson is Sumi’s colleague on the bench. He’s a judge who felt it was inappropriate to give the judges a heads-up that this lawsuit was coming.
There was no similar statement from Sumi. Instead, with this knowledge in hand, she moved quickly to agree with Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne’s suit to void the budget repair law.
