Wisconsin Senate set to vote on effort to repeal mask mandate

Once again Vos and the gerrymandered majority want to repeal the mask mandate and I suspect they will succeed. Apparently they want to be like those other states without statewide mandates where covid is out of control? Sometimes I just hate this state, whereas I used to love it. Of course that was before Snotty Wanker and his enablers ruined it.

MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin State Senate is scheduled to vote on Tuesday on a measure that will end the latest mask mandate Democratic Gov. Tony Evers issued earlier this week.

Members of the legislature have threatened this action before, but this is the first time Republicans have brought the challenge to the public health order this far.

Republicans who are pushing for this are encouraging Wisconsinites to back it. They say the governor can issue one emergency but not multiple for the same cause.

“From day one, I’ve been ready to repeal Governor Evers’ unconstitutional edicts,” said state Sen. Julian Bradley, R-Franklin and co-author of the resolution, in a statement. “The governor has grossly overstepped his authority.”

It's a hit with the knuckle-draggers who won't vote any way. I can't wait until we get rid of the Republican dreck swept in with the gerrymander, and get a real working legislature.

Bet, most of you didn't know that.

Early voting?....check with your local clerk.
Voted in 2020 with an Absentee? You have to get a new one for 2021!

Time runs out in a week to vote by mail.
