Gov. Evers says no mask mandate coming due to Supreme Court decision

Evers Says He’s Listening To The People, Not Gop Lawmakers

GREEN BAY, Wis. — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers is asking people to follow CDC guidelines by wearing masks indoors, but says he won’t issue another statewide mask mandate after the last one was struck down by the State Supreme Court.

The Court ruled in a 4-3 decision at the end of March that Evers had overstepped his emergency powers by issuing multiple emergency orders for the same pandemic. Evers’ orders included a statewide mandate for mask-wearing, but the Court’s decision made it clear any future mask mandates for COVID-19 would have to come from the legislative rules-making process.
