Republican legislative leaders are challenging the extension of Governor Tony Evers’ Safer-at-Home order.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald asked the Wisconsin Supreme Court to block the extension Tuesday.
The state’s high court then announced the D-H-S has until April 28th to file a response.
Vos and Fitzgerald released a statement pointing out that other states in the Midwest – like Ohio – have set firm dates to start phasing in a re-opening much earlier than the May 26th date Evers set.
Evers told reporters the move is a “political power grab.”
