The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of the Republican-controlled Legislature on June 25 over Gov. Tony Evers’s veto powers.

The court on June 25 struck down the Democratic governor’s partial veto of a Republican-led bill that detailed the plan for spending on new literacy programs designed to improve K–12 students’ reading performance. The state justices ruled that he improperly used his veto power over the measure.
