Wisconsin State Supreme Court rules 6-1 that Republican-controlled budget committee cannot block Evers' conservation projects, violating separation of powers.

The Wisconsin State Supreme Court ruled that the Republican-controlled budget committee cannot legally block conservation projects initiated by Governor Tony Evers' administration, in a 6-1 decision. The court's ruling affirmed that provisions within the Knowles-Nelson Stewardship Program, which are meant to block projects and land acquisitions funded with money from the program, violate the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. This marks a victory for Evers and environmentalists across the state.
