Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules Democrat Governor Tony Evers Does Not Have Authority to Limit Business Capacity
Tony Evers
The conservative-leaning Wisconsin Supreme court on Wednesday ruled Democrat Governor Tony Evers cannot limit business capacity without approval from the state legislature.
This is the second time in recent weeks that the Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that Evers violated the law by circumventing the state legislature.
In late March, the state supreme court struck down Tony Evers’ statewide mask mandate.
There is no statewide capacity restriction currently in place because a state appeals court blocked Evers’ latest Covid order limiting indoor gatherings to 25% of a building’s occupancy in October of last year.
The Wisconsin high court on Wednesday ruled 4-3 on party line that Evers’ order meets the definition of a rule and according to the law it must go through the legislature.
