Democrat Kevin Lembo won a court ruling late Tuesday afternoon when a judge denied an injunction sought by his opponent in the state comptroller's race.
Lembo has been locked in an increasingly nasty battle with Waterbury Mayor Michael Jarjura as they seek the position that is being vacated by longtime state comptroller Nancy Wyman.
A state Superior Court judge denied the request for the injunction, which could have stopped Lembo from spending $375,000 in state campaign finance money.
Jarjura's campaign has established a web site at www.lembolies.com that has been criticized by Lembo.
