Noted: The book, a blend of deep research and original reporting, is about Act 10 and right-to-work and legislative redistricting and voter ID. It’s about groups including the Koch Brothers, Bradley Foundation and American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), and the opportunistic politicians, including Scott Walker and Paul Ryan, who have done their bidding. It’s about how Wisconsin has led the nation in shedding members of the middle class, with its poverty rate reaching a 30-year high, its roads rated second-worst in the nation, and its flagship academy, the UW–Madison, falling from the list of the country’s top five research schools.
