MADISON, Wis. (AP) - An appeals court says Wisconsin sheriffs must follow union rules when they assign deputies to transport state and federal prisoners.  The District 2 Court of Appeals says Ozaukee County Sheriff Maury Straub does not have the constitutional power to ignore a collective bargaining agreement when putting together a prisoner transportation team.  If it stands, the ruling means sheriffs must follow union rules involving seniority, hiring from within the department and posting jobs when they assemble those teams.  Straub and the county had argued the sheriff was not bound by such rules in appointing and removing deputies because he has broad constitutional power to run the jail.

A statewide public records audit found that one in 10 requests for basic documents was denied or ignored by local governments.  Another two in 10 requests were fulfilled only after records custodians required the requesters to identify themselves or explain why they wanted the documents, which violates state law.  Freedom of Information Council President Bill Lueders, who is editor of Isthmis newspaper, says the audit was not meant to trick anyone. He says requesters asked for "basic information" that should be available without problems.  The audit was conducted by the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council and the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication. It involved 318 public records requests filed in 65 counties.
