Gov. Evers, Speaker Vos find rare common ground in opposition to Wisconsin school voucher suit

Democratic Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers and Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos found rare agreement Thursday against a lawsuit threatening state-funded school choice expenditures.

Democratic opponents of the voucher program took a different position from Evers and asked the state Supreme Court to take the case directly. If it does, it would issue a ruling within weeks or months. It would likely take two or three years for the case to work through the lower courts.

Brian Potts, attorney for those challenging the voucher programs, said "it's incredibly disappointing" that Evers has aligned himself with Vos.
