Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald sent letters today (Wednesday) to the 82 Walker appointees rescinded by Governor Tony Evers. The appointments were approved by ex-Governor Scott Walker during the extraordinary session in December. Evers considered those seats on state boards and commissions “vacant” after a Dane County judge blocked enforcement of laws passed by Republicans in the lame-duck session. Fitzgerald says Evers took unnecessary action while the matter is still in the courts. In his letter, the G-O-P leader writes, “I believe each and every appointment and confirmation was valid and the courts will ultimately rule in our favor.” He asked appointees for patience while the matters makes its way through the legal system.
