Wisconsin Governor-elect Tony Evers said he may go to court if outgoing Republican Governor Scott Walker signs legislation that would weaken his powers and those of the incoming Democratic attorney general.
“I won the election any way you slice it,” the Democrat said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday. Asked if he would sue in an effort to block such legislation, he said, “All issues are on the table,” while adding he isn’t making a commitment one way or the other.
