Wisconsin copies DOGE with new committee focusing on wasteful spending

The Wisconsin State Assembly unveiled its newest committee to be a replica of the federal Department of Government Efficiency.

Beginning this upcoming session, the Government Operations, Accountability, and Transparency Committee, otherwise referred to as GOAT, will begin examining “government inefficiencies,” according to Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos. Rep. Amanda Nedweski, a Republican, will chair the committee in an assembly in which the Republican Party has a two-thirds majority.
