MacIver Institute content director Bill Osmulski and economist Michael Lucas tackle some tough mysteries about Wisconsin public policy in this edition of the MacIver Report. The state senate just introduced a bill this week that would give electric transmission companies a monopoly over future projects in the state. Also, Milwaukee Public Schools' audit came back exploring why the district is a constant financial basket case. And last, but definitely not least, a mom complains about the food her kids get at school while Gov. Evers demands every kid get free breakfast and lunch at school.
Some of the questions that Bill and Mike address are:
How do power companies make money? (the obvious answer is wrong.)
What is "overhead"? (it's a simple business question.)
Why MPS is incapable of reform?
What drives local government growth (including school districts)?
What happens when the government feeds your kids?
Why do parents want the government to feed their kids?
Why does the government want kids to stay with bad families?
Why can't teenagers make their own lunch?
