The Wisconsin State Legislature debated the ROFR bill on Tuesday that would establish a monopoly in the private sector for Wisconsin-based electric transmission companies, and on this edition of the MacIver Report, Bill Osmulski and Michael Lucas focus on one exchange between a lobbyist and the committee chair about "laissez faire, Adam Smith capitalism.” They also talk about Gov. Evers' plans to expand Medicaid and replace lead pipes in the state budget, and the latest Marquette Law School Poll. As usual, Bill and Mike take plenty of side trips to highlight MacIver's free market philosophy and how it relates to current events in Wisconsin.…

MacIver's Bill Osmulski and Michael Lucas review all the content that the institute produced over the past week. These included stories about: Republican Lawmakers Alarmed by Gov. Evers’ “mother” Changes - The governor changed “mother” to “inseminated person” in a budget line about IVF. The governor also dropped the words “father” and “husband” from other parts of the budget. He even suggested changing "mother" to "parent who gave birth to the child" in another part of his plan. Evers Calls Budget “realistic,” Worried About Federal Changes - Gov. Evers said his budget, which would spend nearly $9 billion more than this year’s budget, is not ‘Dead on Arrival’ at the statehouse like Republicans have promised. Congressman Tiffany: Medicaid Changes not Cuts, but “Common Sense” - Tiffany said requiring people who can work to work, and ending benefits for people who are in this country illegally are both very popular. Judge Issues Fine Over Missing MPS Resource Officers, Okays Another Delay - Borowksi said if the police department can have the officers trained, in school, and provide a list of the schools where the officers will be by March 15th, the fine will be lifted. The DNR’s Scientific Integrity Policy = Unaccountability - The proposed DNR budget needs to be thoroughly deconstructed, and then the agency’s internal scientific regime, especially its corrupt so-called scientific integrity policy, needs to be scrapped. Brad Schimel: Expensive Supreme Court Race an Admission of High Stakes - The Wisconsin Democracy Campaign first reported on Tuesday that the total cost of the race between Schimel and Crawford is now over $18 million. Wisconsin Legislative Audit Chiefs Want Learning Standards, Grant Reviews - Wisconsin’s next deep-dives will look into the decision to change the state’s learning standards, and look into $44 billion worth of state grants. Sen. John Jagler Breaks Down Evers' "Year of the Kid" - MacIver Content Director Bill Osmulski sat down with Wisconsin State Senator John Jagger (R-Watertown) to point out the hypocrisies and the hidden agenda behind Gov. Evers' "Year of the Kid." Kaul Facing Ethics Complaint and Lawsuit for Corruption - “This case presents the question whether the Wisconsin Department of Justice is for sale.”…

MacIver News Minute: Wisconsin's $860 Million Structural Deficit 0:59

Today is Tuesday, February 18th, and tonight Gov. Evers will tell us how he plans to tackle the state’s $860 million structural deficit. What’s that? You thought we had a $4 billion budget surplus? Well, that’s how much the state expects to have in the general fund this June. However, based on spending requests from Evers’ agencies, two years from now Wisconsin will be deep in the red. Now to be fair, agencies don’t get everything they ask for, but they did base their requests on Evers’ direct guidance. So now Evers is going to have figure out where to cut $860 million from, or where he wants to increase taxes and borrowing to make up the difference. Whatever he comes with, it’s sure to be a mess, so don’t be surprised when the legislature scraps his entire budget and starts over from scratch, as usual.…

MacIver Institute content director Bill Osmulski and economist Michael Lucas tackle some tough mysteries about Wisconsin public policy in this edition of the MacIver Report. The state senate just introduced a bill this week that would give electric transmission companies a monopoly over future projects in the state. Also, Milwaukee Public Schools' audit came back exploring why the district is a constant financial basket case. And last, but definitely not least, a mom complains about the food her kids get at school while Gov. Evers demands every kid get free breakfast and lunch at school.…

Gov Evers has declared 2025 to be the year of the kid, and if you’re a parent it should make your skin crawl. In Evers vision, everything your kid needs is provided by the state. You’re not even in the picture. When your kids are in school, they’ll get fed, taught, and nurtured by government employees. When your kids aren’t in school, they get fed, taught, and nurtured by daycare workers. If this messes them up, Evers wants $300 million for mental health services. And if they end up trans, Evers vows to protect them from anyone not being accepting and inclusive. You better believe that includes you, their parents.…

MacIver News Minute: Gov. Evers' Post-Constitutional Wisconsin 1:04

acum 7 weeks1:04

1:04

When Gov. Evers wants something, he doesn’t let anything stand in his way, and the thing usually standing in his way is the state constitution. During covid, he led us through one constitutional crisis after another while trying to seize autocratic control over the state. Fortunately, Evers lost those fights in court, but ever since liberals won a majority on the state supreme court, he’s had the legislature on the ropes. First, he stripped away its constitutional authority to draw voting maps. Then, he eroded its power of the purse. Now, he’s trying to stop its oversight of regulations and rulemaking. Evers’ next big move is cutting lawmakers out of the lawmaking process. He wants the “people” to be able to write laws and pass them through statewide referendums – hoping to mobilize the mob to push through his radical agenda piece by piece. So, you might say Wisconsin is on the verge of entering a post-constitutional era, and it seems like Gov. Evers can’t wait to get us there.…

MacIver News Minute: How Gov. Evers Might Drain the Swamp in Madison 1:04

acum 7 weeks1:04

Tony Evers did not become governor to drain the swamp in Madison, but he might accidentally do just that. He’s suing the legislature because he doesn’t think it should have any say in what rules and regulations his bureaucrats write. The supreme court heard the case last week, and Evers might get more than he bargained for. It seems there’s nothing in the state constitution that gives bureaucrats the authority to write rules and regulations at all. Justice Rebecca Bradley said the legislature never had the authority to transfer that power to the bureaucracy. Justice Hagedorn described it as a gentlemen’s agreement between the governor and the legislature to do it anyway for the past the hundred years. If the supreme court sides with Evers and rules that lawmakers can’t provide oversight to the rulemaking process, or if they go further and rule that bureaucrats don’t have the authority to write rules in the first place, well as the defendant’s attorney explained, the natural consequence is, “the administrative state’s got to go.”…
