State Supreme Court Rules Wisconsin Governor Can’t Limit Restaurant Capacity During CCP Virus Pandemic The Wisconsin state Supreme Court ruled against Gov. Tony Evers’ executive orders that reduced capacity on restaurants, bars, and other businesses due to the CCP virus pandemic. In a 4-3 ruling (pdf) Wednesday, the state court said the Democrat governor’s administration lacks authority to issue the orders, coming two weeks after the court struck down the state’s mask mandate. The statewide capacity limit restrictions have not been in place in Wisconsin since October of last year when the size of indoor public gatherings was limited to 25 percent of a building’s or room’s occupancy. The order was lifted and re-applied several times by the state government.
