Reporting here centers on bills as they move through committee hearings, floor debate and final votes, along with the procedural steps that determine their fate. Coverage reaches from the state Capitol in Madison to the lawmakers who represent districts across the state. Vote counts and committee calendars often matter as much as the policy itself, since timing can decide which bills survive a session. Divided government and the narrow margins that follow shape how most measures are negotiated before they reach a vote.
