Wisconsin Governor Vetoes Effort to Shield Lawmakers

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers (D) vetoed a bill that could have made it more difficult for the public to get records about lawmakers who are disciplined or accused of sexual harassment, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

“The measure, which was passed unanimously by Democrats and Republicans in the state Legislature, would have formally created a human resources office for the state Legislature and specified disciplinary records and complaints against lawmakers should be treated confidentially.”
