Press Release from Wisconsin State Senator Van H. Wanggaard - Re: Safer At Home, Wisconsin
Wisconsin State Legislature ^ | April 27, 2020 | Senator Van H. Wanggaard

Posted on 04/27/2020 1:42:09 PM PDT by Diana in Wisconsin

EVERS’ SHOCKING RESPONSE TO SENATE REPUBLICANS Safer at Home through Summer and Doesn’t Prevent Spike to Overwhelm Hospitals; 35% of Employers may Permanently Close; 750,000 Out of Work; No Regionalization

MADISON – On Friday afternoon, Governor Tony Evers responded to a letter to Senator Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) and other State Senate Republicans seeking information into the decision-making process behind the Stay-at-Home extension. In his response to Republicans, Evers twice hints at extending Safer-At-Home through the summer. Evers answer also states that 35% of all Wisconsin employers may close forcing over 725,000 people to permanently lose their jobs.

After reviewing the response over the weekend, Wanggaard issued the following statement:

“I appreciate the Governor sharing his insights into his decision-making process. It is clear that he has put at least some thought into his decision-making. But Evers response, as far as it goes, shows the frightening results of his decisions.

“It appears that Evers’ is actively thinking about extending Safer at Home into and possibly through the summer at the cost of almost three-quarters of a million people losing their jobs. Given his admission that the length of “Safer-at-Home” has no impact on lessening a substantial peak overwhelming hospitals, substantially extending the “Safer-at-Home” order makes little sense.

“It’s disturbing to know that the Governor apparently realizes that his order is costing four times more jobs than the Great Recession, and that he is literally doubling down the Safer-at-Home order.

“And yet, despite nearly half of the state’s cases in the last week coming from one county, and mammoth areas of the state with little to no infections, the Governor had no response to questions about regionalization as President Trump’s plan allows. And Evers didn’t answer specific questions about why his Badger Bounce Back plan gating criteria has differences from Trump’s Opening America Plan. These differences appear slight in wording, but are substantially more difficult to obtain.

“We may all be in this together, but we don’t need to cripple all of us for the pandemic located in a few counties. If we continue with our current strategy much further, Wisconsin won’t be devastated by the virus, it will be utterly demolished by Governor Evers’ response to it.

“I urge, and beg,Governor Evers and Secretary-Designee Palm to engage in constructive planning with legislative leadership to start to find a way back to normal and soon. That means actually working with legislative leaders, and not dictating to them in staff meetings once a day.”

Yes, our Governor is a Democrat who wants to keep Wisconsin CLOSED through the summer months. He's doing his own thing and not following President Trump's guidelines - AT ALL! Jerk.

As you will no doubt see in the local Madison news sites today, SSM Health, a large regional health care provider, is laying off 3,000 people. Now, tell me, why during this “plandemic” is a major regional health care provider laying off health care providers??

The shutdowns no longer have the veneer of the virus, they’re all about crippling the economy in order to give the DemonRats a chance in November.

It’s not a safe world. You won’t find safety in government. When seconds count the police are just minutes away. Though they are pretty good at putting up yellow tape and drawing chalk lines.

If you feel safer wearing a mask when going into a busy establishment then by all means do so. But don’t insist upon destroying the State or Nations economy in order to save 80 year old who were on deaths door with or without Chinese Flu. This is NOT the Spanish Flu of 1918. It’s just not. .

These tyrants are only a week or so away from a Clinical Phase 3 FDA approval of HCQ/Z-pack/Zinc regimen and all that they are doing will be put down by force from the WH.

“I urge, and beg,Governor Evers and Secretary-Designee Palm to engage in constructive planning “

These people better get a clue of what they are dealing with. Evers is rat on a mission to crush the economy beyond any chance of recovery by November. He is following DNC orders. The other rats same story. They must not get one dime of fed relief from lost revenue, it is the only leverage there is to force them to re-open.

Ignore the idiot Governor. Demand your local officials do the same. Organize an opposition candidate to those who refuse. Vote them out of office in November. Begin recalls if you have that option.

Up the civil disobedience while you’re at it. Make them arrest thousands.

Evers is allowing Fake Doctor Andrea Palm to issue these edicts. Palm has no authority to order the people of Wisconsin to do anything.

Palm is a Far Left activist who was appointed by Obama before she came to Wisconsin

Well, there's the problem.

You *BEG* him????

No, you TELL him and remove him from office.

He's just a human being just like the rest of us and has no special super powers to prevent him from being arrested or disposed of.

People like him only have power because people give it to him by listening to him.

They let him intimidate them.

If someone decides to physically remove him from the building and lock the door, he can’t stop them.

A lot of execrable horrors got elected Governor in 2018. You can tell them because they’re the ones with a “D” after their name.

Because the government will eventually confiscate it.
