Republican leaders in the Wisconsin Legislature say they will respond to the extension of the governor’s Safer at Home order after they consider their options.
Assembly Republicans say their phones have been “ringing off the hook” since Governor Evers announced he was ordering people to stay at home as a way to battle the coronavirus pandemic through May 26th.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke wrote in a joint statement: “While everyone shares the goal of protecting public health, the governor’s order goes too far.”
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says extending the order another month without a plan for reopening the state is “simply unacceptable.”
