— While home inventory levels in Dane County remain limited, “the picture is looking brighter” for the local housing market as sales are on the rise. U.S. District Judge William Griesbach wrote in the ruling Wednesday that the state’s gambling laws were not preempted by federal regulators. The CFTC has not demonstrated that it will suffer irreparable harm if the State is not preliminarily enjoined from enforcing its gambling statutes.” The question of whether being regulated by the CFTC gives prediction markets preemption over state gambling laws is at the heart of active litigation across the country. The CFTC sued the state a week later in response in the U.S. Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
