Meet the new breed of landlord invading Milwaukee:
A couple of former Silicon Valley executives who were crewmates on the Harvard rowing team; a fast-growing Ohio company that owns more than 13,000 rental homes in 14 states; a native of Peru who has run real estate companies in Houston and Palm Beach, Fla.; and a southern California woman who was looking for a place to park her cash windfall.

Forcing legislators to face the public
A bill allowing Wisconsinites to petition for a public hearing could circumvent the majority’s lock on discussion

There are a number of bills that poll extremely well with the public many getting a thumbs up from significantly more than half the people in Wisconsin, including most Republicans. Think cannabis legalization, closing the dark store tax loophole, nonpartisan redistricting, universal background checks for gun sales, expanding BadgerCare using federal resources, raising the minimum wage.
Not only do these bills never pass the state Legislature, they never get voted on, even in committee. In fact, most never see the light of day in committee, not even for a public hearing.
