A Wisconsin judge’s ruling today will temporarily block a disputed state law dismantling unions for University of Wisconsin faculty members and other public employees, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported. Both the law and the controversial manner in which it was enacted drew huge crowds of protesters last month to the State Capitol. The ruling, on a request for a temporary restraining order, was issued by Judge Maryann Sumi of the Dane County Circuit Court. Judge Sumi is presiding over a case in which opponents of the law contend open-meetings laws were violated when a legislative committee approved the measure. The judge said the opponents were likely to succeed in their lawsuit, the newspaper reported.
