Statement by Heartland Institute Director Jeré Fabick on WI Supreme Court Victory Against Gov. Tony Evers
‘Today’s decision by the Wisconsin Supreme Court was a victory for the rule of law and the separation of powers.’ By Heartland Institute - Mar 31st, 2021 05:17 pm
ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, IL (March 31, 2021) – The Wisconsin Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down Gov.
Tony Evers’ statewide mask mandate, ruling that the Democrat exceeded his authority by issuing the order. The decision was a result of a lawsuit filed by Heartland Institute Director
Jeré Fabick, who argued the governor did not have the power to repeatedly declare an “emergency” – and enforce state-wide mask mandates and business restrictions – without approval by the legislature.
