Evers angered Republicans in the ways he used partial vetoes, with some saying Wednesday that the Democratic governor was going back on deals he had made with them.
It’s bullshit, but it’s legal bullshit. Yeah, I know it’s not great when your chief argument for something involves it not being against the law to do so.
I’m not happy that we have the aggressive line-item veto in Wisconsin(nor that we have it at all), but I’m not happy about a lot of the political situation in this state. I would prefer it if the Republican-controlled legislature would work with the governor, or, you know, not gavel out inside of thirty seconds when called to do the business of the state.
But there is precedent. And if it’s good for the goose, it’s good for the gander, until we can curtail that power.
