MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network-WSAU) – Republican legislators are not happy with Governor Evers plans to reopen Wisconsin.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald criticized Governor Evers’ Badger Bounceback plan, saying it’s a one size fits all approach to handling the response across Wisconsin. They say that the rural parts of Wisconsin didn’t need the same strictness as Dane and Milwaukee Counties. They also claim that Evers’ approach isn’t following the CDC guidelines.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald delivered a letter to Evers on Monday, calling for the economy to reopen over a four week period. Their letter calls for outdoor activities, state parks and campgrounds to reopen on April 24, with restaurants allows to re-open May 1. Gatherings of 50-or-more people would be allowed after three weeks. The entire state economy would re-open, with social distancing guidelines, in four weeks.
The GOP-controlled legislature is still considering a court challenge to Evers’ executive order.
