Wisconsin Republicans, who voted to overturn Gov. Tony Evers's statewide mask mandate on Tuesday, have accused the governor of overstepping his authority.
In an 18-13 vote, in which two Republicans joined all Democratic members, the Wisconsin state Senate voted to repeal the mandate, arguing that it amounts to unconstitutional overreach.
State Sen. Dan Feyen, a Republican representing Wisconsin's 18th District, ascribed ulterior motives to the governor's directive.
"@GovEvers is allowed 60 days on an executive order, & we're on day 320," he tweeted. "SJR3 isn't about revoking masks, it's about Gov Evers ignoring & overstepping his statutory authority. This cannot be tolerated no matter who is in charge!"
