Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu
The state Supreme Court handed down a 4-3 decision yesterday in the cases entitled Fabick vs Evers, which put an end to Governor Tony Evers Mask Mandate.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu of Oostburg responded to the ruling, saying “I applaud the Court for ending this constitutional crisis in our state. Their ruling upholds the separation of powers and the rule of law – core principles since the founding of our state and nation.”
LeMahieu also said that Governor Evers repeatedly abused the emergency powers by extending the mandate without getting legislature approval.
“Today’s ruling vindicates the Legislature as a co-equal branch of government,” LeMahieu continued, “and will expand freedom and opportunity for the people of Wisconsin. As we work to fully and safely reopen our state, we trust our residents to follow CDC guidelines when appropriate, get vaccinated when ready, and always employ common sense.”
