Wisconsin prosecutors seek to charge seven Assembly Democrats with violating the open meetings law. Four additional senators are named as potentially liable as the case widens.

Senators Babich, Dor man, Kieczka, and McKenna are named in the brief, with the Assembly Democrats resisting. The open meetings statute allows closed caucuses but prosecutors say the meetings were not idle.
