MacIver News Minute: Stay Involved

from The MacIver Report: Wisconsin This Week · host The MacIver Institute

The legislative session is ending in Madison, and there are plenty of Issues that need to be addressed. Democrats still want more spending on education, even though DPI spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lavish conference, and they are failing to teach our students at proficient levels.  Gov. Evers and Speaker Vos -- both of whom are leaving office -- are talking about spending down a state surplus that may or may not exist.  A bill to expand gambling in the state continues to move forward -- even though polling shows most Wisconsinites oppose the move. As we close out the legislative session and enter another campaign season, these issues will have a huge impact on Wisconsin.  One problem, though: Voters are not paying attention. A recent poll from Marquette University shows that two-thirds of both Republicans AND Democrats have not decided on a candidate in the state supreme court, nor in the Governor's race. Follow us in the coming months to help you stay informed on these issues and more.
