In the immediate aftermath of the Wisconsin Supreme Court ending Gov. Tony Evers' stay-at-home order, petty tyrants [local governments] around the state began issuing their own measures.
Here is an updating roundup of counties and cities that have announced their own measures, or will be continuing to follow Evers' order.
Brown County
The county is following Gov. Tony Evers' safer-at-home measures until May 20, public health officer Anna Destree said in a statement.
"It would be irresponsible to do otherwise given the high number of positive cases found in Brown County," she wrote.
"This virus knows no boundaries, including county lines."
Dane County
Dane County adopted most of Evers' order and will keep the restrictions in place until May 26.
Under the county order, worship services will be allowed to resume and won't be limited to gatherings of under 10 people, so long as social distancing and sanitization are taking place.
Executive Joe Parisi, Madison Mayor Satya Rhodes-Conway and Public Health Madison & Dane County Director Janel Heinrich released a statement noting that they were "disappointed" in the Supreme Court's ruling, as Evers' order has "substantially slowed the increase of COVID-19 cases in Dane County.
"By continuing to follow Safer at Home and practicing physical distancing, we can all work together to achieve these criteria and begin the phased reopening of Dane County as soon as possible."

The counties listed are solidly BLUE - they have also had the most cases, so I think they’re doing the right thing in keeping themselves in quarantine for another 12 days. Dad is in Dane County, so hopefully I’ll get to see him before he dies. :(
But the rest of us are FREE! FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Thank you Wisconsin Supreme Court! On, Wisconsin! :)
Maybe there is a Bratfest in your future.
As it should be; Coronavirus by county:

Arrrrggg! I don’t live in Wisconsin but I am so damn sick of reading of nothing but COVID-19 and its various side stories that I may die of simple boredom and frustration at the crap I read in the news.
Okay, that’s an exaggeration, but geeze louise it goes on forever! Just open up already. I’m 70+ years old and if I or anyone else is afraid of the WhFlu just don’t go anywhere. Stay home but let people that want to get on with their lives, get on with it! My dear departed Dad always said that nobody gets out of here alive. So let people live for crimes sake!
It is tyrant whack-a-mole. Every government led by leftists is determined to stay shut down to destroy the economy despite all evidence to the contrary. Anyone that believes that this is not a political maneuver is at best naive.
I am no lawyer but I suspect that county governments are not immune from the Constitution.
These are decisions that should be made by individual businesses, not government.
I suspect that the only businesses that can be regulate are those who must have licenses granted by the health department.
Even so, private businesses must be careful not to discriminate.
A lot of lawyers will get rich.
For sure. And now the businesses can make that decision in 68 of our 72 counties.
Diana, are barbers and beauty salons open now?
When we heard the news here in the People's Republic of Minnesota, we planned a trip to the OPEN state of Wisconsin!
Can't wait to have breakfast at Norske Nook.
President Trump should plan a Wisconsin rally asap. I mean just flaunt it now, rub it in the Governor’s face.
No. Barbershops and Salons are still closed! Licensed Professionals that DEAL in good hygiene as a Standard Practice for their business are still shut down.
Ridiculous!
“Norske Nook.”
Now I’m drooling! Hand over the pie and ALL the meringue and nobody gets hurt, LOL!
That would be awesome!
I’ll bet his next rally, no matter where it is held, beats all previous records for attendance!
Heard on the radio a while ago that Rock County is also staying closed. That’s in the South Central portion of the state, along the IL border: Janesville, Beloit, Evansville, etc.
Thank you! I live in Iowa County - 10 cases, all recovered, no deaths, not even a hospitalization!
Remind me why my County has been closed off from the world for 2 months, now? Grrrr!
Kenosha rescinded the order yesterday.
They essential said, “After getting some further legal advice, the SC ruling applies to all government officials, not just the Governor.” So they removed the Stay at Home order.
I’m hoping Rock County (where I live) will do the same.
