State Representative from Green Bay area says Wednesday's Supreme Court decision on 'Safer at Home' only adds to confusion.

MADISON – Representative Staush Gruszynski (D-Green Bay) released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision to strike down Governor Evers’ Safer at Home Order:

“In times like these, the people of Wisconsin need clear and concise leadership. Today’s disappointing court decision not only adds uncertainty but also goes against decades of legislative authority granted to Wisconsin’s Chief Health Official. Public health decisions should be made by public health experts and not by politicians. Previous legislatures approved laws for these moments recognizing it is necessary for the governor to be able protect the health of Wisconsin.”

Don’t be coaxed into a false sense of security by the Supreme Court’s misguided action, says Senate Democratic Leader.

MADISON – Senate Democratic Leader Janet Bewley (D-Mason) released the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision to strike down Governor Evers’ Safer at Home order:

“In times of confusion and fear, the people of Wisconsin need clear and consistent leadership. The court's decision today only adds to that uncertainty. The Executive Branch is the appropriate place for authority during a pandemic, when decisions about health and the economic well-being of the state are paramount. At a time when leadership is needed most, Wisconsin families are left with political games. Please don’t be coaxed into a false sense of security by the Supreme Court’s misguided action. Wisconsinites are resilient and when we work together to stay safer-at-home we can slow the spread and protect our most vulnerable loved ones.”
