Madison… Assembly Speaker Robin Vos (R-Rochester) released the following statement following the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s disappointing decision to strip power away from the people of Wisconsin and shift it to the executive branch:

“For decades, case law has upheld the constitutionality of the legislative rules committee to serve as a legitimate check on the powers of the Governor and the overreach of the bureaucracy. Today’s decision overrules those cases, strips the legislature of its check and balance powers, and bestows even more power to the executive branch.

“Administrative rules touch many facets of our lives, such as business regulations, license renewals, building projects, wetland mitigation, and more. The absence of oversight from elected representatives grows government and allows unelected bureaucrats to increase red-tape behind closed doors.

“As Justice Rebecca Bradley said in her dissent, ‘Progressives like to protest against ‘kings’ – unless it is one of their own making.’”
