Watch this one. The district court judge just held that a 20-25 year-old federal law (I think it is ERISA) prohibits states as well as local governments from taxing employers to pay for health care for the employer’s own employees. That would shoot down the Governator’s proposed statewide plan.
Maybe labor unions should pony up the cash from their bloated pension funds if they want it so bad. Instead of picking MY pocket.
