Gov. Evers Releases Statement Relating to Today’s Wisconsin Supreme Court Decision
“The facts didn't change in the last three years and neither did the meaning of the constitution. Only the composition of the court did.”
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers released the following statement in response to today’s Wisconsin Supreme Court decision:
“This issue was already decided three years ago in Coyne v. Walker. Both conservative and liberal justices agreed then that the constitution prevented the governor from vetoing rules overseeing public schools.
“The facts didn’t change in the last three years and neither did the meaning of the constitution. Only the composition of the court did.”
