In Wisconsin, the contentious fight over bargaining rights for public employees appears to be headed to the state Supreme Court.

A state appeals court on Thursday declined to rule on a case alleging that legislators broke Wisconsin's open meetings law when they used a tricky maneuver to pass the bill that stripped nearly all collective bargaining rights from the state's public workers.

The challenge puts a sharper focus on what had until recently been a sleepy campaign for the state Supreme Court. Some in Wisconsin now see that campaign as a referendum on Gov. Scott Walker.

PACs Spring Up Across The State

Until a couple of months ago, not many people in Wisconsin knew the names David Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg. Prosser had some recognition from his years in the state Legislature and as a justice on the state Supreme Court. But Kloppenburg's two decades as a state prosecutor still left her as a political unknown.

That all changed overnight. When protests swept the Wisconsin Capitol in February, Kloppenburg's campaign for Supreme Court justice got a jolt.

Activist Bill Delaney says he was already interested in this race but calls the Capitol protests life-changing. He quit his state job soon after forming a political action committee to help Kloppenburg's candidacy — one of several Wisconsin PACs springing up in just the past month.

"It's like the sign with all the little fish grouped together and going after one big fish," Delaney says. "So maybe that's what we'll be. We'll be all these little PACs, and hopefully we'll penetrate counties throughout the state and get the word out."
