"Governor of Wisconsin takes legal action against GOP lawmakers for hindering government operations"

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has filed a lawsuit against GOP lawmakers, accusing them of obstructing basic government functions by using legislative vetoes to block pay raises for state university employees and impede state conservation projects and rule updates. Evers argues that these vetoes bypass constitutional safeguards and attempt to change laws without proper legislative procedures. He is asking the state's Supreme Court to review the statutes granting veto powers to legislative committees and declare them unconstitutional. The lawsuit targets several Republican lawmakers, including Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, who opposes university spending for diversity and inclusion efforts.
