No one ever questions the Wisconsin Legislative Fiscal Bureau (LFB) and with good reason. It is a non-partisan office of absolute professionals who serve as the legislature's official accountants. But they are dead wrong when they say that Gov. Evers' budget would raise taxes and fees by $2.6 billion. It's not even close. $2.6 billion is less than half of what it would actually be. The biggest omission is Evers' plan to increase hospital assessment fees by $3.3 billion to increase funding to Medicaid. Hospitals will, of course, shift those costs onto other patients who are not on Medicaid. That brings Evers' total up to at least $5.9 billion. There's even more to this story that you can apparently only get from the MacIver Institute.

MacIver Institute content director Bill Osmulski and economist Michael Lucas tackle some tough mysteries about Wisconsin public policy in this edition of the MacIver Report. The state senate just introduced a bill this week that would give electric transmission companies a monopoly over future projects in the state. Also, Milwaukee Public Schools' audit came back exploring why the district is a constant financial basket case. And last, but definitely not least, a mom complains about the food her kids get at school while Gov. Evers demands every kid get free breakfast and lunch at school.

Charity is on a lot of our minds this time of year, and hospitals throughout Wisconsin thought it was perfect time to brag about their supposed largess. The Hospital Association just released a report about all the charity that non-profit hospitals are doing and claimed things like that don't happen in the free market. Too bad for them, the MacIver Institute, Wisconsin's premiere free market think tank, saw that report, and decided to look into that claim. We quickly found multiple academic studies from places like Harvard and John Hopkins that show for-profit hospitals actually provide more charity care than non-profits both in Wisconsin and across the country. Also, according to the IRS, non-profits are required by law to provide that care. True charity doesn't come from government compulsion. It has to be given freely, and the only place you'll find the conditions to do that is in the free market.

The Senate and Governor Evers are celebrating passage of a massive shared revenue and education funding bill. Should taxpayers be nervous? Probably. Brett Healy, president of the MacIver Institute and the “Third Thompson” Twin joins us to break down the bill and what it means to you / U.S. Rep. Scott Fitzgerald — On Trump indictment, House investigation into Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and the failed vote to censure colossal D-bag Adam Schiff.

Tax increment financing. TIF. As in TIF districts. Just the sound of it is enough to put any taxpayer to sleep, and local officials like it that way. They tell you TIF is basically free money. We take out a loan, use the money to lure in new developments, and then we tax those new developments to pay back the loans. Brilliant – right? What they don't tell you, is that new development increases the local tax levy… and new developments in TIF districts don't pay into that tax levy – and so everyone else in town not in the TIF district has to make up the difference… that means higher property tax rates all around. The MacIver Institute has been warning you about this scam for years – but now Wisconsin's legislative council has released a memo providing independent, non-partisan confirmation of this reality… That TIF districts raise property tax rates… by a lot. Now that's a wake up call. Want to know how much TIF districts have jacked up your property taxes?
