Suit Before Wisconsin Supreme Court Seeks To Overturn Gathering Ban

A conservative group has filed a lawsuit seeking to overturn the Dane County ban on big gatherings and other restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic.  The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty filed the suit before the state Supreme Court Monday.  That public health order went into effect last week.  The suit alleges it is an overreach of the legal authority held by local health officers and an unlawful delegation of authority by local elected bodies.  The Institute filed the suit on behalf of Gymfinity Limited, Jeffry Becker and Andrea Klein.  It argues that the order shuts down most of its business while letting restaurants, bars and other retail establishments stay open.
