Wisconsin is poised for significant changes across various sectors in 2025. Governor Tony Evers has unveiled a comprehensive budget plan aimed at overhauling the state's prison system, including the expansion of early release opportunities and the closure of the Green Bay facility by 2029. This $535.5 million plan is contingent on bipartisan support, emphasizing the need for cooperation to address the state's overpopulated prisons[1]. In the realm of education, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Jill Underly faces a spring primary election on Feb. 18, competing against two challengers in a bid for a second four-year term. Meanwhile, Wisconsin students continue to lag behind in math and reading, with average student achievement remaining months behind pre-pandemic levels, according to the Education Recovery Score Card at Harvard University[1]. On the economic front, Wisconsin is expected to see modest growth in 2025, with personal income projected to rise by 4.6% nominally and 2.5% in real terms. However, GDP growth is expected to slow to 1.6%, and employment growth is forecasted at just 0.4%, with 82,867 new jobs created between 2023 and 2025[3]. In terms of environmental concerns, Wisconsin is preparing for potential climate migration surges due to its status as a "climate haven." The state's increased precipitation and high temperatures raise risks of floods and heat waves, with communities already dealing with these changes[4]. Common Cause Wisconsin has expressed support for Governor Evers' budget proposals aimed at strengthening the conduct of state elections, including the addition of 10 positions to the Wisconsin Election Commission and funding for information technology updates[2]. Looking Ahead: - The spring primary election on Feb. 18 will determine the candidates for the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. - The Wisconsin legislature will consider Governor Evers' budget proposals, including prison reform and election administration improvements. - The state will continue to monitor and prepare for potential climate-related challenges, emphasizing the need for proactive measures to mitigate these risks.
