MADISON Gov. Tony Evers officially vetoed a COVID-19 relief bill Friday hours after it passed the Legislature saying that it limited the state s ability to respond to the pandemic. It is incumbent upon all of us, but especially on elected officials, to lead by example and to do everything we can to keep Wisconsinites healthy and safe, Evers wrote in a veto message to the Legislature. I am vetoing [the bill] in its entirety because I object to the provisions in this bill that will make it more challenging to mitigate the impact of COVID-19 in Wisconsin.
Evers had said that he would sign a compromise COVID-19 relief bill passed last month by the Senate. The Assembly, however,accused the Senate of caving to Eversand changed the bill by adding a set of changes Evers considered a deal breaker.
