All Issues

Issue | Transportation

21st Century Transportation

Demand for transportation alternatives is skyrocketing, and our roads and bridges are crumbling. Yet instead of meeting our changing transportation needs, our state budget continues to funnel billions of dollars into shortsighted new highway projects.
 

Issue | Budget, Tax

Citizen Budget Watch

When information on the effectiveness of taxpayer funded programs is hidden, the public is denied its stake in the decision making process. We can’t afford to spend money on subsidy programs that don’t work, don’t give us a good return on our investment, or keep critical information hidden from us.

Issue | Tax

Close Corporate Tax Loopholes

No company should be able to game the tax system to avoid paying what it legitimately owes.

Issue | Health Care

Making Health Care Work

Now the fight for health care reform is in Madison, and so are the health care industry’s lobbyists. At stake is how we set up a new insurance marketplace in Wisconsin — the single biggest tool we have to clean up health care.

Issue | Consumer Protection

Protecting Consumers

WISPIRG’s consumer program works to alert the public to hidden dangers and scams and to ban anti-consumer practices and unsafe products.

Issue | Democracy

Reclaiming Our Democracy

Stanching the flow of special interest money in our elections.

Issue | Financial Reform

Reining in Wall Street

We’re fighting for a financial regulatory system that guarantees consumers and taxpayers are protected from the predatory practices at the heart of this problem.

Issue | Safe Energy

Saving Energy, Saving Money

In Wisconsin and across the country, we have enormous potential to save energy in homes and businesses.

Issue | Budget, Food

Stop Subsidizing Obesity

Our tax dollars should only go to things that serve the public good, yet we’re handing out taxpayer subsidies to big agribusinesses to help subsidize junk food.
