Certiorari Denied

Petition for certiorari denied on January 21, 2014.

Docket No.13-481
Op. Below2d Cir.
SCOTUS Page

Issue

(1) Whether a governor"s subjective motives for exercising a state"s inherent power and contractual right to reduce the size of its unionized workforce are legally relevant when a court is asked to determine the constitutionality of that legislative act; and (2) whether the Second Circuit erred in requiring strict scrutiny of a governor"s decision to reduce the size of a state"s unionized workforce by falsely analogizing that decision to firing state employees based on their political party affiliation.
