Badger Institute’s latest:
Medicaid mission-creeps its way into the housing business
Very few people know it, but Wisconsin’s Medicaid program is in the housing business.
Not construction or real estate, but assistance in finding a home for any Medicaid recipient with a qualifying health or mental health issue and a qualifying risk of homelessness.
The Wisconsin Higher-Ed Reform Model
Republican lawmakers managed to pass a conservative-coded policy in a purple state with a Democratic governor. It’s all well and good to point to Florida or Texas and wish that every state could do likewise. Unfortunately, not every state capitol boasts a conservative governor ready to pick controversial fights backed up by a large Republican majority. Wisconsin demonstrates that even purple states can win meaningful, albeit limited, conservative victories.
A Badger Institute policy report: Character education and teacher retention
Wisconsinites should be concerned the state’s growing crisis of disappearing educators — a phenomenon the Badger Institute has been taking a closer look at. Multiple studies confirm that retaining good teachers is essential to school effectiveness and student achievement.
