Tyrogleshan, you're a political reporter here at Box.

What is going on in Wisconsin right now?

It sounds like sort of all hell might be breaking loose.

To come January, the Republican-led state government is going to have to pass the baton

to some newly elected Democratic leaders.

In these final weeks, they are doing everything they possibly can to curb the powers of the

incoming Democratic class.

What are they curbing exactly?

What powers are they trying to curb?

The Republican-led legislature is pushing forward with proposals that would essentially

prevent the governor from having purview over some commissions and state agencies.

It would undermine the powers of the incoming Democratic Attorney General to remove the

state from legal cases.

For example, the incoming Attorney General has said that he wants to remove Wisconsin

from the federal case against the Affordable Care Act.

This would require legislative oversight over that.

The name of the game is essentially moving the power from the executive branch in the

state government to the legislative branch, which is Republican-controlled.

Okay, so it sounds like changing how cabinet members are appointed, curbing the Attorney

General's authority.

Why these things in particular?

It's a direct rebuke to the things that Democrats campaigned on and won on in November.
