Governor Evers says he’d issue a statewide mask order without hesitation, if not for the state Supreme Court’s ruling in May.
Justices threw out the “safer at home” order, ruling Majority Republicans in the Legislature have a say in statewide rules. He’s continuing to urge people to wear masks, and he says it’s a step people can take right away.
Evers is also thanking small businesses and large retailers that put their own mask requirements in place.
There are questions how much authority Evers has to make statewide orders.
