<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 13px"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">In a 4-3 party-line decision, the Wisconsin Supreme Court yesterday ruled Republican lawmakers did not violate the state’s open meetings law last March when they rammed through Gov. Scott Walker’s (R) bill that eliminates collective bargaining rights for public employees. A lower court had ruled the Walker law was invalid because its passage violated the open meetings law. Next month, Wisconsin working families will go to the polls to recall six state senators who voted for the bill.</SPAN></SPAN> <BR>
