A state trooper “terminated for cause” in 2020 remains in law enforcement. The Badger Project argues the DOT’s refusal to release documents related to the case is illegal. #wanderingofficers #Wisconsin #openrecords thebadgerproject.org/2025/08/05/the…
Rookie state Rep. Karen DeSanto spent years traveling the world with the Ringling Brothers. Now she’s representing a rural #Wisconsin district in the state Assembly. The two jobs are very different, she says. #wipolitics #circus #RinglingBrothers #Baraboo thebadgerproject.org/2025/08/07/fro…
A bipartisan bill in the #Wisconsin state Legislature would provide legal immunity to 911 dispatchers who transfer calls to the suicide hotline. Critics say the bill is unnecessary. #wipolitics thebadgerproject.org/2025/08/06/wis…
With the total number of law enforcement officers in #Wisconsin sitting near record lows, the bill aims to ease staffing shortages with grants to help pay for the training of new hires. But it faces an uphill climb. #wipolitics #police thebadgerproject.org/2025/07/31/bip…
