Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is suing the Republican-controlled Legislature, arguing that it is obstructing basic government functions.
Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers on Tuesday sued the Republican-controlled Legislature, arguing that it is obstructing basic government functions, including signing off on pay raises for university employees that were previously approved. Evers is asking the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, bypassing lower courts.
The lawsuit also cites the Legislature’s Joint Committee for Review of Administrative Rules, which has blocked rules developed by a state agency and board to update Wisconsin’s commercial building standards and ethics standards for social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors. The lawsuit is the latest salvo in the contentious relationship between Evers and the Republican Legislature.
