In Wisconsin, a Dane County Circuit Court judge has ruled against Republican lawmakers. The judge ruled they violated an open meetings law when they passed the controversial bill to take away collective bargaining rights for state workers. The bill passed without the 14 Democratic state Senators present because they had famously fled the state to prevent a vote weeks earlier.
This ruling effectively voids the bill, but the state Supreme Court may pick up the case.
