Alumni and Friends: La Follette Notes: Spring 2005
Legislative Council selects student for internship
In January, La Follette School faculty and staff sponsored the two largest conferences in the school’s history.
The first, Taxing and Spending Limits in Wisconsin, emphasized that while the state’s tax burden has not increased in recent years as a share of income, the growth of medical care spending threatens the state’s fiscal stability.
The second conference, Environmental Law in a Connected World, brought together more than 300 environmental regulators, policy-makers, business representatives and citizens to explore international environmental policies and practices. The conference is part of a larger research project by La Follette School professor Graham Wilson that is funded by the Ira and Ineva Reilly Baldwin Wisconsin Idea Endowment at UW-Madison.
“Both conferences and the materials they produce will inform debate about government spending and environmental regulation for years to come,” says Outreach Director Terry Shelton. Conference materials are available at www.lafollette.wisc.edu.
