Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty attorney Rick Esenberg told the court during oral arguments Monday that the chief executive’s ability to rewrite state law tramples on the separation of powers with the Legislature.

PLEASE continue to call and email your state legislators urging them to remove Evers' DHS secretary-designee Andrea Palm. She is the designer and signer of the last two extensions. Palm was sent to Wisconsin from the Obama and Hillary Clinton Administrations. She is an un-elected official who has not even been confirmed by the WI legislature. They need to fire her now!!!!

Evers seemed to be back-pedaling a bit on the news last night. His ‘plan’ to put Wisconsin back to work is pretty much President Trump’s to the letter. Was glad to hear it - hopefully it comes true like - YESTERDAY!

Put your Zip Code in the search at the upper right corner and you will get your reps and their contact information.

The partial veto power does allow a Wisconsin governor to tweak budget bills and other legislature laws to modify the wording and dollar figures but sometimes that has a good outcome.

Right now partial veto helps a Democrat governor tweak bills passed by a Republican WI Senate and Assembly. If a Republican governor faces a Democrat legislature, he or she may need this power to limit what the Democrats do.
