Cities, towns, and counties in Wisconsin that take money away from their police departments would get less money from the state under a new plan headed out of the state Senate.
Lawmakers OK’d the plan, Senate Bill 119, on a party-line vote, 20-12.
The proposal imposes a dollar-for-dollar cut in state aid for every dollar that local governments take away from law enforcement. Any money that is withheld by the state would then be reinvested into cities, towns, and counties that spend more on their police departments.
Sen. Van Wanggaard (R-Racine) is the plan’s author. He said the message is simple: Local governments that defund the police will pay a price.
“Government’s responsibility is to protect the people that live in our communities and in this state,” Wanggaard said during Wednesday’s debate. “When you can’t walk out your front door and walk in your neighborhood without being armed, for fear of being mugged, carjacked, raped or whatever, that to me is not living.”
Democrats in the Senate said the plan is pure politics.
Sen. Janet Bewley (D-Madison) said Republicans are looking to punish Milwaukee and other poorer, big cities in the state.

“The rich get rich, and the poor get poorer,” Bewley said on the Senate floor Wednesday. “The communities that can’t afford to keep their police are going to lose money. And it’s going to be redistributed, probably to communities where Republicans have constituents.”
Bewley said cities and towns shouldn’t worry about losing money, because she said Gov. Tony Evers is certain to veto the proposal.Wanggaard said that’s a choice the governor and Democratic lawmakers will have to make.”Anybody who votes ‘no’ for this, that would like to cut more police officers from their community, that’s a vote against public safety,” Wanggaard added.The plan now heads to the Assembly, where it’s expected to pass. From there it would head to Evers’ desk.

Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
