Following the announcement, the Tavern League of Wisconsin issued bars "open immediately."
The Tavern League is a trade association advocating for bars across Wisconsin. It also encouraged establishments to follow Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation guidelines, which includes face masks and gloves for employees, and social distancing when possible.
According to Tweets from Nick's Bar in Platteville, the location reopened Wednesday evening and was severing at least two dozen people within the hour.
MADISON – Another legal fight between Wisconsin’s Republicans and Democrats has resulted in a familiar outcome — a hefty bill for taxpayers.
Democratic Gov. Tony Evers is leaving it to taxpayers to pay $40,000 in legal bills to resolve a public records dispute with Republican Rep. John Nygren of Marinette. The situation comes after Democrats have repeatedly criticized Republicans, including Nygren, for making taxpayers pick up their legal expenses.
"The taxpayers unfortunately pay for a lot of needless litigation and Rep. Nygren brought this lawsuit instead of trying to work with our office," Evers spokeswoman Melissa Baldauff said.
The costs for the lame-duck and election lawsuits will continue to climb because the cases are ongoing and not all bills have been submitted. And details on the costs of lawsuits over Evers’ stay-at-home order have not yet been released.
Those legal bills are for disputes over policy differences. The open records case is different. In that one, Evers late this month agreed to give up more than 10,000 pages of records he initially tried to keep from Nygren.
“I think that he should take a lesson from this that there’s a real risk that when you say no to a records requester that you’re going to get sued … and you’re going to have to settle because the courts are not going to back you up,” said Bill Lueders, president of the Wisconsin Freedom of Information Council.
Nygren, the co-chairman of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee, would not say whether Evers should personally pay the attorney fees.
OK – Looks like Former City of Racine Mayor and now WI Governor Dr. Tony Evers administrator of state and local finance, John Dickert got some Schooling about confronting 18 year olds in a grocery parking lot over a meaningless road rage incident!
This movie sucks so bad that I had to wash out my eyes with bleach after watching it. The last 20 minutes or so are somewhat interesting in that they feature Hitler's head being moved around in a large glass jar. Some of his facial expressions are priceless.
RACINE COUNTY — Former Racine Mayor John Dickert was formally charged late Monday afternoon for his involvement in a fight at a local grocery store parking lot in late March. John T. Dickert, 57, of the 100 block of Westminster Square, in Racine, is charged with a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct. Dickert was elected as Racine’s mayor in 2009 during a special election, and was re-elected in 2011 and 2015. He resigned in 2017 to become president and CEO of the Great Lakes St. Lawrence Cities Initiative. He currently works as division administrator for the Wisconsin Department of Revenue. Dickert was appointed in 2018 by Peter Barca to be the administrator of the Wisconsin Division of State and Local Finance, a position he still holds. Parking lot fight According to the criminal complaint and information obtained by The Journal Times days after the incident: At 4:06 p.m. Sunday, March 22, Mount Pleasant Police Department officers responded to Piggly Wiggly, 5201 Washington Ave., after receiving 911 calls about a fight in the grocery store parking lot. The two suspects involved in the fight were identified as former Racine Mayor John Dickert, 57, and 19-year-old Christian Reynoso, both of Racine. Police spoke with Reynoso, who had bloody knuckles and scratches and red marks on his neck. Reynoso said that he was in a hurry while driving to work when he saw Dickert driving and videotaping him. Reynoso said that Dickert pulled into the parking lot and he followed him and asked him why he was recording him. Reynoso claims that Dickert got out of his car, approached his passenger side window and leaned on his car. When he told Dickert to get off of his car, Reynoso said Dickert refused and walked around to the driver's side of Reynoso's car. Reynoso said Dickert said something like "Do you think you're a tough guy?" Reynoso said he started to get out of the car and Dickert grabbed him by the neck/throat area and pushed him into his vehicle. Reynoso said he punched Dickert three to five times, and that Dickert also punched him.

China has reported new coronavirus cases in Wuhan for the first time in over a month.
The Wuhan cases account for 3 of the 14 new cases, with the bulk of the new cases in the northeast city of Shulan. The Jilin province city raised the risk level from low to medium after identifying a case on May 7, and now has raised the risk level to high.
All of the Shulan cases appear to be members of the initial 45-year-old patient’s family or people who came in contact with her, according to AP News.
"Epidemic control and prevention is a serious and complicated matter, and local authorities should never be overly optimistic, wear-weary or off-guard," said Jilin Communist Party Secretary Bayin Chaolu.
The National Health Commission reported the cases on Sunday, citing the highest number of cases since April 28. China had officially designated the risk levels of all areas of the country as low only a week ago.
However, subsequent to the report, other areas in China have reported new cases.
The cities of Harbin in Heilongjiang province and Shenyang in Liaoning province each confirmed a new case. The patient in Harbin is a 70-year-old who had been in quarantine since April 9 and tested negative seven times before results turned positive, according to Reuters.
The patient in Shenyang is a 23-year-old who had recently been in the Jilin province.
The spread indicates that more cases could appear in the coming days due to the asymptomatic nature of the virus. The first Wuhan case has been designated asymptomatic after the patient initially showed no symptoms, and his wife did not show any symptoms after also testing positive.
An additional five asymptomatic cases have been confirmed since then. China, however, does not include asymptomatic cases in its official count of confirmed cases.
The National Health Commission counted 20 asymptomatic cases as of May 9.
The new cases have increased the total number of confirmed cases in mainland China to 82,901, with 4,633 deaths – a number that has not changed since April 26.

RACINE COUNTY — Deputies with the Racine County Sheriff’s Office helped out with an “udder”-ly odd situation near the Town of Dover on Saturday.
A FOX6 viewer shared a photo of some folks — including the deputies — helping to corral a cow that had gotten loose on WIS-20 around 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. The viewer, Cristal Kalimorr said she and her mother, Sue, were driving when they spotted the cow and the deputies — and decided to help out!
Thankfully, everyone was able to keep the cow from getting into any further danger. No word on how the cow got out.
