The top Republican in the state Senate is calling on Governor Evers to immediately release the name of the person who recorded a phone call.
Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald asked the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau to look at the state’s law on recording calls.
Evers talked with Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, the day after the state Supreme Court threw out the “safer at home” rules. The governor has said his chief of staff Maggie Gau and Chief Legal Counsel Ryan Nilsestuen were on the call.
Fitzgerald says unless one of those three recorded it, or told someone else to do that, the staffer could face a felony charge.
Evers has said he didn’t know it was recorded.
Fitzgerald also wants to know what disciplinary actions were taken.
