Area Of Interest: In January of 2021 Badger Institute hosted a ZOOM presentation by the Speaker of The Florida Assembly, highlighting their new bill that funded gathering data on Florida’s Criminal Justice System. During the 2021-22 legislative session, seeking to mirror Florida’s success, working with Rep. David Bowen’s office, a Criminal Justice Data Transparency Bill was drafted. It called for using science to create bi-partisan, incremental improvements to Wisconsin’s criminal justice system, investing in a data analyst, at a cost of $1 million over two years, gathering data from Wisconsin’s data silos, and housing it in the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council. The analyst will gather and generate analysis for legislators and non-profits from the data silos in Wisconsin’s Criminal Justice System, helping legislators to draft new legislation to make improvements to Wisconsin's Criminal Justice System. This bill was never introduced. In 2025, given the new maps and the new legislature, the Criminal Justice Data Transparency Bill V 2.0 was re-introduced, adding to the original bill the potential of reducing early interactions with the criminal justice system by young adults in the foster care system, thus reducing the number of those incarcerated in our prison system. Dr. Fred Wulzczyn Chapin Hall, University of Chicago, Director of the Center for State Child Welfare Data, said “If you can alter the likelihood that a youngster in the foster care system avoids the criminal justice system, that is a wise investment and will pay for itself over time by substantial lowering the cost of public programs that fund deep end social programs.” We are advocating for changing the conversations from reducing the prison population and funding second chances to using science to invest in solutions that reduce involvement with Wisconsin’s Criminal Justice System at the front end.

Schools Make Madison Advocates Business Interest: K12 education industry primarily, though we also represent the interests of businesses who see strong education as an economic asset. Area Of Interest: Revenue limits for public school districts have not had an inflation-level adjustment in over a decade. As costs rise, it is essential that our schools have the funding to attract high-quality educators and provide every student with a high-quality education. While communities across Wisconsin overwhelmingly support referenda to raise revenue limits locally, this model is inconsistent, unsustainable, and inefficient. Other education funding metrics, such reimbursements for required special education costs, have experienced a similar stagnation. All the while, federal dollars have been impactful but reliance on one-time conditional disbursements has created a funding cliff in a time when schools are already under exceptional financial strain. Healthy K12 is not just the concern of schools and educators but of all parties with an interest in the long-term health of our state. Businesses in particular have a strong interest in the success of schools. While businesses across the country are reeling from a declining labor pool, that issue is exacerbated in Wisconsin given the consistent trend of more people have moving away than to the state. Now more than ever, a strong workforce begins with strong schools. Beyond attracting and retaining working families, education provides a means to mitigate barriers which may otherwise render individuals unemployed, incarcerated, or on government assistance. With an unprecedented budget surplus projection, there is no better time to invest for success.
