MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Wisconsin Supreme Court is considering whether to overturn a nearly 20-year-old ruling that protected powers of the state superintendent of schools from being taken away by the Legislature or governor. The court heard arguments Tuesday in a case challenging a 2011 law that gives the governor the power to approve and block administrative rules being enacted by the state superintendent. Lower courts have struck down the law as it applied to state Superintendent Tony Evers and the department he oversees. Attorneys for Evers, parents and education groups challenging the law are urging the court not to overturn the 1996 ruling that stopped then-Gov. Tommy Thompson from placing the education department under his control. Assistant Attorney General David Meany says the Legislature can change who has rule-making authority.
