Round 1 goes to Roll Your Own

Last week Friday, Dane County Circuit Court Judge Juan Colas granted a temporary injunction that will allow for the continued operation of roll-your-own tobacco retail stores in Wisconsin. This injunction prevents Wisconsin's Department of Revenue from following the guidelines they set out to enforce in September. It's unclear what approach the Department of Justice or Department of Revenue might take to challenge this ruling, pursue a legislative solution, or utilize the rule-making process so that continued enforcement might be possible.
