MADISON - A huge Texas-based think tank, funded by the Koch Brothers, just set up shop in Wisconsin, as Mike Buelow, our ace researcher, found out this week: Koch-backed Texas group lobbying in Wisconsin Meanwhile, legislators in Madison have been up to their same old tricks this week: GOP bill goes after local control on wheel taxes Authors of bill coddling polluters get $ from manufacturers As for me, I went back up to the State Capitol this week to testify in favor of a good, sensible bill that would require lawyers to disclose any donation to a judge or justice while that judge or justice is hearing their case. Here’s what I said: WDC supports bill requiring more judicial donor transparency Really, who could be against such a bill? Well, for one, Representative Samantha Kerkman seemed hostile to it. I’ll try to let you know who else when the final votes are cast. Have a nice weekend. Best, Matt Rothschild Executive Director
