Minimum Markup Law bites the dust

You should already know that "U.S. District Judge Rudolph T. Randa ruled in February the [Wisconsin Minimum Markup Law] tax violates federal antitrust statutes."

More good news: Van Hollen won't appeal - which shouldn't surprise you, but if anyone were calling for it, he'd have to give really good reason not to follow up. Which brings us to even more good news:

Van Hollen says an appeal wouldn't be wise.

He says state consumer protection officials haven't asked for an appeal.
