Mask wars pit Democrats against Republicans in Legislature. //end headline wrapper ?>Mask. (Pixabay License).
Imagine if this were the Legislature’s policy for its meetings: “The wearing of pants is highly recommended, but it is not required.”
In an attempt to show how ridiculous it is during a pandemic to refuse to wear a mask in the Legislature, where men are required by dress code to wear suit jackets, Rep.
Lisa Subeck (D-Madison) inserted the word ‘pants’ to replace the word ‘masks’ in the legislative policy on masks made by Republicans.
She laughed at the result, but as she sees it, the existence of a dress code for legislators proves requirements have nothing to do with ‘freedom.’ And masks have become another huge point of contention where plenty of battles already rage between Republicans and Democrats.

Gov.
Tony Evers unveiled a $91 billion state budget Tuesday that proposes sweeping investments to address Wisconsin’s most significant environmental challenges and conservation goals, including climate change and the protection of public lands.
The spending plan for the next two years includes ambitious efforts to reduce climate change impacts, reauthorizes the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, addresses PFAS contamination and brings back a proposal to replace lead service lines among other measures. But many of the Democratic governor’s proposals are likely to be scaled back or outright rejected by the Republican-controlled Legislature.
MADISON - The official in charge of elections in Wisconsin says the numbers tell the story of the November election.
Wisconsin Elections Commission administrator Meagan Wolfe on Thursday defended the 2020 election amid questions about ballot harvesting, absentee and indefinitely confined voting, and the largest number of votes ever cast in a presidential election in Wisconsin.
âI am not paid to have an opinion,â Wolfe said at a hearing of the legislatureâs Audit Committee. âData drives what we say, data drives what we do as Elections Commission staff. We put out the data on the election. How many people voted? By what method? How many voter registrations did we have versus participation? That data is all out there, and from my perspective, that data speaks for itself.â
