MADISON Gov. Tony Evers has assumed the “CYA” position following the debacle that has been his administration’s distribution of the COVID-19 vaccines.
While the Democrat is feverishly attempting to blame the Trump administration, legislative Republicans, pharmacies and anyone else he can scapegoat, this fiasco is all on the governor.
Go back one month ago, when Evers dismissed any notion of legislative oversight of COVID-19 relief spending and vaccine distribution. Such a check on his executive authority would be cumbersome and time-consuming, he told the press gaggle. He eschewed any help.
“Clearly, if you think about over 100 people in the Capitol figuring out who gets the vaccine first or second and so on, that doesn’t even pass the smell test,” the governor said at the time.
