Part of GOP laws curtailing Tony Evers' powers are back in place after appeals court stays ruling

Source: Wisconsin State Journal

Parts of Republican laws curtailing powers of Gov. Tony Evers are back in place after a state appeals court ruled Wednesday to temporarily suspend a ruling that struck them down.

The ruling was issued Wednesday afternoon in the state District III Court of Appeals.

It temporarily stayed a ruling issued last week by Dane County Circuit Court Judge Richard Niess.

It does not affect a separate ruling issued Tuesday in another case, by Dane County Circuit Court Judge Frank Remington, that blocked parts of the laws.

Another Dane County judge, Frank Remington, blocked key parts of the laws Tuesday in a separate lawsuit brought by a group of unions.

They allege the laws violate the separation of powers between the legislative and executive branches. Remington issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday blocking legislative approval for withdrawing from and settling lawsuits, the publication review and multiple suspensions of agency rules. He let stand language granting legislators the right to intervene in actions, however.

Republicans have said they plan to appeal that ruling. It remains valid for now, though, despite the 3rd District Court of Appeals' stay in the union case.
