Republican leaders in the Wisconsin Legislature accuse Governor Tony Evers of making too many unilateral decisions on the state’s response to COVID-19.
They say they want oversight of how Wisconsin spends the federal pandemic relief money it receives and how vaccines are distributed in the coming months.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and incoming Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu made the comments during a conference call with the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce Wednesday.
Vos and LeMahieu say legislative oversight would create more transparency.
