Summary from the AllSides News Team
Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker signed a bill on Friday that will limit the powers of Democratic Gov.-elect Tony Evers, who defeated him in the November election. Some have accused Walker and the Wisconsin GOP of executing a last-minute power grab, while others say the new legislation will not fundamentally lessen executive authority, but will instead protect policies that Walker helped enact during his tenure.
