Republicans Plan Legal Action Against Evers’ Extended Safer-At-Home Order

Wisconsin Republicans are planning to file lawsuits over Governor Evers’ extended safer-at-home order that runs until May 26th.  Assembly Speaker Robin Vos says his goal is to have a legal strategy in place for next week.  Vos said,”we’re angry, we’re frustrated and we are trying to push back in every way that we can, to make sure that we actually succeed.“  Senator Alberta Darling of River Hills said, “we are going to the Supreme Court.”  Governor Evers says “no one wants to reopen our economy as much as I do, but the bottom line is that our businesses, our workers and us as consumers can’t be confident if we are not confident about our safety and health.”  Health officials say the restrictions in place have saved lives and resulted in far fewer cases of the deadly virus than the state would have experienced otherwise.
