🏛️ DEEP DIVE ALERT! – When the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that the state could move forward with a ban on so-called conversion therapy, it was actually ruling on a much broader topic: Republicans abusing the rules in order to allow the Legislature to interfere with state agencies.

But the liberal justices now in charge of the court seem to be making it harder for politicians to bend the rules.
Founding Editor Pat Kreitlow used to be a member of the Legislature’s Joint Committee for the Review of Administrative Rules (JCRAR) and takes us on a deep dive into laws, rules, and violating the trust that’s a foundation of our democracy.
