Show Notes
Lobbying cash in Wisconsin surged to a decade-high last year, with DoorDash from San Francisco leading the pack at over $2 million. The tech giants massive spending spree aimed to keep gig workers out of minimum wage rules and workers comp coverage, a bill that passed the Republican-led legislature but was vetoed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. While national giants often ramp up spending for specific fights, the usual top spenders in Wisconsin, such as manufacturers, hospitals, and insurance groups, typically engage in multiple bills. The influx of money and time from lobbyists significantly influences policy-making in the Badger State.
