What You Need To Know

  • Democratic Gov. Tony Evers' administration and political opponent Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos are in the rare position of taking the same side in a lawsuit seeking to end Wisconsin's taxpayer-funded voucher school system, telling the Wisconsin Supreme Court that it should not take the case

  • Vos and Department of Administration Secretary Kathy Blumenfeld, who was appointed by Evers, told the court in separate filings this week that the case should start at the circuit court level

  • The third defendant, Department of Public Instruction Secretary Jill Underly, took no position

  • Democratic opponents of the voucher program took a different position from Evers and asked the state Supreme Court to take the case directly
