Wisconsin Legislature Rushes to Dismantle Nonpartisan Election Agency, Kill Campaign Finance Regulation

Common Cause Wisconsin:

Very late Friday, when few people were paying attention, state legislative Republicans posted this notice for a public hearing on Tuesday, October 13th in the Capitol for measures to eviscerate the non-partisan GAB, and to destroy any meaningful contribution limits or limits on special interest money in WI elections, while effectively ending most disclosure and transparency of that money.

Because they have so little regard for you or for the public interest, the GOP has scheduled a “joint” hearing for Tuesday so they only have to hear from citizens opposed to these horrible measures just once and they will likely limit testimony. The two hyper-partisan bills that will destroy the GAB are Assembly Bill 388 and Senate Bill 294. The two that will deform campaign finance law are Assembly Bill 387 and Senate Bill 292.
