Contributing sentiments towards policy:
44% : The lawsuit contends that the Legislature is effectively attempting to change state law without passing a bill and sending it to the governor for either approval or a veto.36% : Evers argues in the lawsuit that the Legislature is breaking the state constitution and separation of powers by creating "legislative vetoes" through which committees controlled by a few Republican lawmakers can block actions of the executive branch.
30% : In addition to not approving the pay raises for about 35,000 University of Wisconsin employees, Evers argues that the Legislature is blocking state conservation programs, updates to the state's commercial building standards and ethics standards for licensed professionals.
27% : "Republican legislators are unconstitutionally obstructing basic functions of government -- actions that have not only aimed to prevent state government from efficiently and effectively serving the people of our state but are now actively harming tens of thousands of Wisconsinites every day across our state," Evers said in a statement.
