2021-2022 Legislative Session Begins
Happy New Year and welcome to another Wisconsin legislative session. The 2021-2022 Legislative Session begins today with the swearing in of the new Legislature.
Last November, Wisconsin electors doubled down on more gridlock in the state Capitol. With a relatively popular Democratic Governor in place, voters added to the Republican majority in the Senate and maintained a large Republican majority in the Assembly. The Republican majorities in both houses remain below the veto proof two-thirds majority threshold, however.
An article previewing the challenges and opportunities we anticipate for municipalities this session was published in the January issue of The Municipality magazine. Read the article.
