Wisconsin GOP Sues Governor Evers Over Literacy Bill Vetoes

The lawsuit challenges the constitutionality of partial vetoes made by Gov. Tony Evers, alleging misuse of veto power in literacy funding decisions.

Wisconsin Republican legislators have initiated legal action against Governor Tony Evers, asserting his partial vetoes on a literacy bill are unconstitutional.
The dispute centers on a bill that aimed to allocate $50 million for literacy programs, which Evers modified using his veto power.
Evers' vetoes removed provisions for grants to private voucher and charter schools, sparking legal challenges from multiple parties.
The governor's office defends the vetoes as a means to simplify funding allocations and enhance flexibility for the Department of Public Instruction.
This legal battle marks a continuation of tensions over veto powers, historically used by both parties to influence legislative outcomes in Wisconsin.
