Pro-Freedom for All

TODAY | WILL Files Legal Motion to Defend Act 10 on behalf of Public-School Employee

WILL filed a motion to intervene earlier today in defense of Act 10—a monumental collective bargaining reform that impacts the freedom and compelled political participation of our client, a public-school employee.

Then, four hours later, a judge granted our motion and signed our proposed order in the case. 🎉

🗯 Lucas Vebber, WILL Deputy Counsel, stated, “Not only has Act 10 survived more than a decade of state and federal court challenges, but it set a national precedent for protecting the freedom of taxpayers and state employees everywhere. WILL is proud to once again be on the side of Act 10. Wisconsin cannot afford to go backwards on this important issue.”

🗯 WILL Client, Kristi Koschkee, stated, “Act 10 is pro-taxpayer and pro-freedom. This legislation provides public employees like me the freedom to not participate in unionization, or be compelled to finance or support political speech I do not agree with. It’s critical that we stand up for this law and not undo the years of positive results produced for Wisconsin.”

NEW | Evers’ State of the State: The Good, The Bad, and One Ugly Tax Code

Last Tuesday, WILL released a response to Governor Tony Evers’ 2024 State of the State Address.

WILL agrees on the importance of improving Wisconsin’s workforce and economy, but some of the governor’s policy solutions fall short. Also, WILL supports using the state’s historic surplus toward meaningful tax cuts for Wisconsin’s taxpayers.

🗯 WILL Policy Director, Kyle Koenen, stated, “Governor Evers spoke at length about how government can solve every problem, when in fact government is the problem. This year, the governor should take the opportunity to work alongside legislators to deliver common sense market-based reforms to improve the lives of Wisconsinites. He can start by acting on meaningful tax cuts that return more money into the hands of hard-working Wisconsin taxpayers.”

NEW | The Left’s Biggest Redistricting Crutch Examined

WILL released its newest report, Behind the Lines: Investigating the Efficiency Gap in Redistricting. The report provides insight into the so-called Efficiency Gap, which left-leaning groups rely on to redraw legislative maps in courtrooms in Wisconsin and across America. 

🗯 WILL Research Director, Will Flanders, stated “The efficiency gap has become a manipulation effort by the Left to allege legislative districts as gerrymandered and overturn them for political gain. The efficiency gap is insufficient and can’t fully consider common factors in legislative races, such as uncontested campaigns and political geography.”
