Contact: Michael Cain; 608.225.6071 cainmjc@gmail.com Proposed Legislation Will Increase Workload and Costs and Hurt Performance for State Agencies Madison, WI – Extraordinary Session Bill AB 1070 contains provisions that will significantly constrain the work of executive agencies throughout state government.

On this week’s episode, WisPolitics.com’s JR Ross and WisconsinEye’s Steve Walters discuss spending from outside groups this election cycle, the future of the Kimberly-Clark incentive package and the upcoming lame-duck session.
