evidence: In their final few months of business, lawmakers approved some significant bills, including redrawing the state’s legislative districts, establishing guaranteed admission to the Universities of Wisconsin for some students and enacting a childcare tax credit. Lawmakers also approved several proposed constitutional amendments, a few of which will go before voters this year. [...] Another bill that took months to take shape was a deal between Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, and the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents. Vos wanted to do away with positions related to DEI, or diversity, equity and inclusion. In exchange, he agreed to approve UW staff raises and building projects that were included in the state budget. [...] The typical push-and-pull of divided government doomed many GOP bills, and many Evers initiatives, too. But for the Legislature, there’s another path toward making big changes to public policy, one they took more frequently this session.
