Wisconsin Governor Sues GOP Lawmakers for Blocking Basic Functions and Withholding Pay Raises

Wisconsin's Democratic Governor Tony Evers has filed a lawsuit against the Republican-controlled Legislature, accusing them of obstructing basic government functions. Evers argues that the Legislature is blocking pay raises for university employees, state conservation programs, updates to building standards, and ethics standards for licensed professionals. He is asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly. The lawsuit is the latest development in the ongoing contentious relationship between Evers and the Republican Legislature.
