For tax purposes, Wisconsin should treat profits from investments the same as income from work. Currently, Wisconsin gives preferential treatment to profits from investments, which results in tax breaks for the best off. Most other states treat profits from investment the same as income from work.
K-12 Education in the Fox Valley
Every student in the Fox Valley region deserves to receive the educational support and resources needed to help them achieve a bright future.

These challenges were particularly acute for students who were more likely to be struggling prior to the pandemic, like students with lower incomes, students of color, and students who speak English as a second language. With federal pandemic relief funds drying up, state leaders must ensure schools have adequate resources and that students don’t fall even more behind.
