The News: The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) released its “2024 Wisconsin Freedom Audit”, an extensive review of where the state ranks in various measurements of freedom, including fiscal freedoms, regulatory freedoms, and individual freedoms. The audit found that Wisconsin ranks in the middle of the pack for our pillars of freedom. These rankings can all be improved in Wisconsin by adopting policies that make Wisconsin a freer place to live, work, and raise a family.

The Quotes: WILL Senior Research Analyst, Noah Diekemper, stated, “Freedom is the pinnacle of our nation’s identity, yet Wisconsin is in the middle of the pack on a number of important indicators. WILL has provided lawmakers and policymakers with a litany of things to tackle next year and our Freedom Audit of 2024 can help shape a pro-freedom 2025.”

WILL Policy Director, Kyle Koenen, stated, “Freedom is at the heart of what makes our state and country exceptional. Yet, Wisconsin has work to do to unlock its full potential. This report highlights actionable steps that policymakers can take to expand freedom, reduce burdens, and empower Wisconsinites to thrive. A pro-freedom agenda isn’t just an aspiration; it’s a necessity if we want to build a state where families and businesses can truly prosper.”
