MADISON - Governor-elect Tony Evers released the following statement on the extraordinary session:
"Wisconsin has never seen anything like this. Power-hungry politicians rushed through sweeping changes to our laws to expand their own power and override the will of the people of Wisconsin who asked for change on November 6th.
Wisconsin values of decency, kindness, and finding common ground were pushed aside so a handful of people could desperately usurp and cling to power while hidden away from the very people they represent.
Wisconsinites expect more from us and I hope at some point the Legislature will rise to the occasion and work with me to solve the pressing issues facing our state. That's what the people of Wisconsin want, that's what the people of Wisconsin deserve, and that's more than what they got from government here tonight."
