Wisconsin Supreme Court debates legislative committee powers in a case initiated by Democratic Governor Tony Evers against the Republican-controlled Legislature.
Wisconsin Supreme Court justices are debating the extent of legislative committee powers in a case initiated by Democratic Governor Tony Evers against the Republican-controlled Legislature.
The case could significantly influence how state government operates in Wisconsin, with Evers arguing that the Legislature's budget-writing Joint Finance Committee is overstepping its constitutional lawmaking authority and acting as a 'fourth branch' of government.
A ruling in Evers' favor could upend established practices in the legislature, making it easier to approve projects in a land stewardship program, but could also have broader implications on the separation of power between the executive and legislative branches.
The court is expected to issue a ruling in the coming weeks or months.
