The governor has issued an emergency order to help with security preparations for Milwaukee’s Republican National Convention.
Governor Tony Evers signed the order yesterday. It’s standard practice, in fact all convention cities have similar agreements. The order makes it easier for Milwaukee to get both state and federal money to help with convention security. The emergency order also makes it easier to call in the Wisconsin National Guard if need be. There is nothing in the order that deals with the protest zone security concerns from convention planners. Milwaukee will host the Republican National Convention from July 15th through the 18th.
