MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers’ plan to let voters repeal and create state laws without legislative involvement met opposition from the Republican leaders of the Legislature, who signaled that the idea is likely to be rejected for a second time. Evers’ plan, made public on Monday, comes the same day the Legislature kicks off its two-year session. Republicans remain in control, but their majority is at its narrowest since they took over in 2011. Still, the Democratic Evers is reviving a plan to weaken the powers of the Legislature that Republicans have already previously rejected.
