Gov: Judge Made A Dangerous Decision

ACROSS WISCONSIN— The Governor of Wisconsin responded to a judge's decision for a temporary hold on an order to limit large gatherings.

A Wisconsin judge temporarily blocked the order from Gov. Tony Evers' administration limiting the number of people who can gather in bars, restaurants and other indoor places on Wednesday.

Shortly after, the Governor responded.

"Today there was a dangerous decision to temporarily put a hold on our order limiting mass gatherings," the Governor said. "We’ll be challenging that decision, but here’s the bottom line: Wisconsinites, stay home.We are at a critical point in the battle against this virus and just because some folks out there want to see full bars and full hospitals doesn’t mean we have to listen. If we want to get back to enjoying our favorite bars and restaurants and events, then we need to stay home."

The Tavern League of Wisconsin sued on Tuesday, and Sawyer County Circuit Judge John Yackel on Wednesday blocked the order and set a court date for Monday.

The Governor's order was issued last week and limited the number of customers in any indoor establishment to 25% of capacity.

"We can and will get through these hard times if we band together, look out for our neighbors, and put science and public health before politics. That’s what I am going to do, and I hope you’ll join me," the Governor said.
