Wisconsin governor's overreaching COVID mandate blocked by court
The governor's emergency order seeks to reduce public interaction to curb the spread of the coronavirus by capping customers to 25% of the establishment's capacity limit, which is a "defacto closure," the Tavern League of Wisconsin argues.
The plaintiffs, the Flambeau Forest Inn in the village of Winter and the Sawyer County Tavern League and the statewide Tavern League, argue the limits should have been implemented through a process known as rulemaking.
