No it's a done deal, now on to the appeal. CADL did drop their motion for the library to be called a school. Our attorneys objected to that and wants it determined in the appeals, so the library can't bring it up later.
Good idea... I am disappointed in the Judge's decision but believe the issue is important enough that the only way to set THIS fiasco "right" is to have the appeals court decide the issue. Even if "we" would have won, I'm sure it would have been appealed by CADL; better in that the onus of making a strong argument would have been upon them rather than us.
The best way to avoid this particular issue in the future would be to actually push the elimination of PFZs AND push for clearer legislation regarding exactly what "entities" are covered under preemption. In that vein, has anyone heard of any movement on the bill regarding the elimination of PFZs from earlier this year?
JMHO, but I think that the time to change this is now... or were the assurances that this would at least be dealt with in "due time" just an empty promise to garner support from us while our legislators solidify themselves as apologists for big business and shills for the corporate elite? Oh, it's "due time"...
