Madison, WI – In the face of over 5,500 dead in Wisconsin, and over 400,000 dead across the United States of America, Wisconsin Republicans are poised to pass SJR/AJR 4, repealing Wisconsin’s statewide mask mandate and ending the emergency health order due to the COVID-19 global pandemic. Repealing the emergency health order will have wide and disastrous consequences throughout the state. It will end Wisconsin’s eligibility for emergency food benefits linked to COVID-19 resulting in a loss of $50 million in food assistance every month. Over 35 key stakeholders have registered against this reckless resolution. From first responders, nurses and doctors, to educators and businesses alike, Wisconsin communities understand that wearing a mask is common sense and necessary to protect our neighbors and to uphold our shared Wisconsin values. Representative Kristina Shelton issued the following statement:
In light of Republican disregard for science and Wisconsin lives, Assembly Democrats have affirmed their bipartisan commitment to doing everything possible to provide Wisconsin communities with direct and immediate relief. |
