Wisconsin Public Meeting Notices and Minutes - Department of Administration A centralized location for state agencies to post open meeting notices and meeting minutes in an effort to increase state government transparency.

For the first time in 25 years, incarcerated people in Wisconsin can ask the governor to shorten their sentences.

And a new poll commissioned by the ACLU suggests most Wisconsin voters support giving at least some people a form of clemency.

51% support ending or shortening sentences for people who meet certain criteria and can safely return to their communities, compared with 37% who oppose it.

Those findings come as 12 incarcerated Wisconsinites prepare to make their cases before the state’s Commutation Advisory Board on Friday — the first hearing since Gov. Tony Evers revived the process this spring.
