Wisconsin Democratic Governor Tony Evers has filed a lawsuit against the Republican-controlled Legislature, accusing them of obstructing basic government functions and blocking pay raises for university employees. Evers is asking the liberal-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court to take the case directly, bypassing lower courts. He argues that the Legislature is overstepping its constitutional authority by using committees controlled by a few Republican lawmakers. This lawsuit is the latest development in the ongoing contentious relationship between Evers and the Republican Legislature, who have clashed since Evers took office in 2018.
