After suing to force the governor to work with the Legislature to on a coronavirus plan, GOP lawmakers now suggest they don't need any new guidelines.
MADISON, Wis. – After successfully suing Democratic Gov.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican from Rochester, told the Associated Press there could be no statewide order or guidelines in place if Evers and Republicans can't agree on them and signaled they didn't need to be enacted quickly. "I thought both leaders felt very comfortable with the idea and unconcerned about what I believe is the massive confusion that will exist without a statewide approach," Evers said."Apparently they believe different rules are OK. I can't imagine another state that is in this predicament."The restrictions are being lifted after the spread of coronavirus has slowed in recent weeks.
“If this suddenly becomes a free for all, a wild, wild west situation in Wisconsin, we’re going to have huge outbreaks, which will entail having to close things down again,” said Kind, who represents a largely rural district in southwestern Wisconsin. In an emailed newsletter, the Wisconsin Counties Association said the local health orders placing restrictions on businesses and gatherings are made under the same set of state laws the governor's now-defunct order used as its basis.
