Wisconsin families and taxpayers deserve answers. Kyle Maichle is calling for a federal investigation in how DPI advises districts on the use special education funds. When IDEA grant $ is spent at waterpark resort happy hours, it’s worth looking into. Full column below.

@GovMikeKehoe's plan to eliminate Missouri's income tax is picking up momentum. As the Gov. said to Missouri House Republicans last week, "we have to be bold." The next WI Governor will need to do the same to keep keep our state competitive.

@WisDOJ in back and forth with @SenJacque in today's oversight hearing: "I don't believe there has been a committee like this for over 20 years to conduct oversight." He may be correct, but thank goodness for this committee! Lawmakers need to conduct more oversight, not less.

Since 2000, for every eight students lost, public schools added one non‑instructional staff member. More adults than ever, yet fewer kids reading and doing math at grade level. That’s not a ‘year of the kid’ - that’s decades of growing a bloated bureaucracy.

The legislature should be doing more of this to get answers from agencies.
JR Ross@jrrosswrites

New: @MaryFelzkowski issued a "friendly" subpoena to @WisDOJ to ensure the AG shows up for a Feb. 25 oversight hearing. Kaul's ofc says he'll appear willingly. First legislative subpoena in 5 years. See more in today's @WisPolitics Report.

Courtesy of @news8news we can see the official response from DPI. Nowhere in this long rant does their spokesperson provide facts or evidence that refutes any of our reporting. He provides noise. That’s not communication. That’s obfuscation. news8000.com/news/education…

🚨 BIG UPDATE: Yesterday, the Legislature’s Finance Committee temporarily froze $1 MILLION in funding for the DPI following our investigation into their $368K water park retreat. But it gets deeper. We now have published the list of who was there. 🧵 (1/5)

“Key takeaway: The Institute for Reforming Government's involvement led to the release of additional documents related to the meeting, which DPI did not record and did not provide meeting minutes for in response to public records requests.” yahoo.com/news/articles/…
