A Dane County judge has struck down Act 10. Judge Jacob Frost yesterday declared the 2011 law that changed how public sector unions could negotiate their contracts to be unconstitutional because some police officers in the state were covered by the law’s restrictions, while others were not. The ruling comes 13 years after Act 10 first passed, and after a raft of earlier challenges in both state and federal court. None of those other courts found problems with Act 10, but Frost said the law must be changed. Unions and Democrats across the state cheered the ruling as a victory.
