Capitol Notes: Courts Have Yet To Decide A Couple Lawsuits Challenging Stay-At-Home Orders

Maayan Silver
Marti Mikkelson and JR Ross discuss the week in politics in "Capitol Notes."

A group of Wisconsin residents filed a federal lawsuit late last week challenging some local stay-at-home orders that were put in place after the state Supreme Court threw out Gov. Tony Evers’ statewide policy. The lawsuit asks a federal judge to declare the local orders unconstitutional.

In this week’s Capitol Notes conversation, WUWM's Marti Mikkelson asked JR Ross of wispolitics.com what he thinks will happen with this and another challenge that's before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Marti was a reporter with WUWM from 1999 to 2021.
