Police and Thieves

This as I'm on my way out the door. The Court released Lipscomb early this morning. The decision is stunning in its brevity. In effect, the court has dismissed the PERS Coalition's appeal of Lipscomb as moot because the substantive issues were ruled on in Strunk, the Legislation, and in the Settlement, from which they quote at length. This means that PERS has the go ahead to fully implement the settlement. How and when that will happen is unclear, and more significant who will be affected is unclear. But the take home message is that what Strunk gave, the settlement takes away, and the Lipscomb ruling does nothing to come between those events.

More later.
