“Judge puts Michigan ‘gag order’ election law on hold”

Detroit Free Press:

A federal judge agreed to put at least a temporary halt to an election law bill passed in December that would restrict how local and school officials communicate with their residents about ballot proposals and millage issues.

U.S. District Judge John Corbett O’Meara ruled Friday that the bill, the last one passed at the end of the year without any public hearings or debate, is unconstitutionally vague and an infringement on free speech rights.
