"*" indicates required fields
What will it take to make Wisconsin among the best places in America to live, work and do business? The Badger Institute has pulled together some of the best minds in the state and the country to offer answers. The Mandate for Madison is a book full of ideas and solutions about public policy centered on how to improve Wisconsin, offering research and recommendations from a remarkable set of scholars who bring extraordinary insight into Wisconsin’s situation. These options offer a fast start to correct the problems holding back our state.
Badger Institute’s latest:
Taxpayers getting jobbed
A federal judge’s injunction is blocking the closing down Job Corps centers — including two in Wisconsin — that have an expensive and dismal record ostensibly training the young and disadvantaged for work.
Cursing the rain — and tax cuts — cuz everyone benefits
Progressives object because proposed Wisconsin tax relief goes to people they envy.
Much to like in Republicans’ tax plan
Legislative Republicans’ proposed tax measure “is a relatively well-structured way to provide relief for lower- and middle-income Wisconsinites,” said Katherine Loughead.
