The Wisconsin Policy Forum (WPF) has developed an interactive data tool, available on their website, offering access to local government data for everyone from policymakers to average voters. The data covers spending, debt, taxes, property values, income, population and other metrics, and comes from reports filed by local governments with the Department of Revenue. Researchers Jason Stein and Ari Brown talk with Josh about the work of WPF and the background and power of the new Municipal DataTool.
