On The Issues: Representatives Shelia Stubbs and Jim Steineke

Description

In this virtual program, Mike Gousha, distinguished fellow in law and public policy, will talk with co-chairs of the Speaker’s Task Force on Racial Disparities, Representatives Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna) and Shelia Stubbs (D-Madison). The task force recently released a series of recommendations that would change policing in Wisconsin. They focus on four categories: 1. Use of force by law enforcement; 2. Law enforcement oversight and accountability; 3. Officer training and standards; and 4. Community engagement. We will discuss the key recommendations the task force has made, how agreement was found, reaction to the report, and whether the recommendations will be made into law.
