3. Republicans were miffed that Evers got to spend

Emergency Covid funds from the federal government. They wanted to keep all the money and put forth two constitutional amendments that would make them the sole spenders of that cash.

They have a track record of not coming back into session when key issues arise that help people in emergent situations so they kinda cooked their own goose here. A mailing campaign to all voters saying this and tying the problem to “lawmakers in Madison” got even conservatives to notice what a bad plan this was.
