Wisconsin governor won't pursue statewide coronavirus restrictions after court ruling

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) said Monday that he will not pursue new statewide coronavirus restrictions after the state Supreme Court struck down his previous ones last week.
The governor’s administration switched gears and withdrew its statement of scope for new COVID-19 regulations after state Republicans vocally rejected the plan. Wisconsin’s coronavirus restrictions will now fall to local governments without a statewide approach.
“The Republicans have made it very clear that they don't believe a statewide approach is the right way to go at this point in time, and they also don't believe any restrictions are advisable at this time,†Evers told reporters.
“Given that, it just doesn’t make any sense to spend a lot of time doing something that we know isn’t going to be successful,†he added.
