MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Justices on the Wisconsin Supreme Court said Wednesday that Gov. Tony Evers’ creative use of his expansive veto power in an attempt to lock in a school funding increase for 400 years appeared to be “extreme” and “crazy.” But they questioned whether and how the governor’s veto powers should be reigned in. Justice Jill Karofsky says it feels like “the stratosphere is the limit” when it comes to the governor’s veto powers. The case is supported by the Republican-controlled Legislature. It is the latest flashpoint in a decades-long fight over just how broad Wisconsin’s governor’s partial veto powers should be.
