Back to Replace Department of Commerce with development-focused agency

Bill to achieve the change is part of special session agenda

One of Scott Walker's first promises, which we have rated Promise Kept, was to call a special legislative session on jobs on the day he was sworn in.

A bill to achieve a Commerce Department makeover was part of the Jan. 3 call for a special session. Lawmakers are considering the proposal to make the department into a public-private agency focused only on job growth. It would be modeled after the approach taken by Indiana.

Since work is underway, and a plan has been introduced, we will move this one to In the Works.
