As Wisconsin gears up to vote in local, state and federal elections, a raft of bipartisan election and campaign reform bills are under consideration by the Wisconsin legislature.

While many bills continue to languish and are unlikely to pass, one bill did emerge from the process.  Senate Bill 822 would centralize and standardize campaign finance reporting with the Wisconsin Ethics Commission.  On February 23, the Wisconsin Senate concurred with Assembly amendments and adopted the final bill, which now heads to the Governor’s desk.

Wisconsin Watch reporter Jacob Resneck tracks this bill and other Wisconsin legislative activity, and called in to our studios to tell us more.
