GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin GOP Assembly leadership has a new pet GOAT

 

Headline:  Wisconsin Public Radio, 3/17/2025

Mackenzie Krumme reports:

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, created the Assembly Committee on Government Operations, Accountability and Transparency — or GOAT — in December. Its purpose, he told public affairs network WisconsinEye, is to expose and address inefficiency in government.

Rep. Francesca Hong, D-Madison, who is the longest-serving Democrat on the GOAT committee, told WPR’s “Wisconsin Today” there is already a mechanism in place to monitor fraud and waste: the Legislative Audit Bureau. 

“I think this committee is performative at best,” she said, referring to GOAT. “I’ve been a part of multiple audit public hearings as well as audit report hearings, and I think that their office, this nonpartisan bureau, does a fantastic job.” [emphasis added]
