Elon Musk's concept of government efficiency has inspired Wisconsin Republicans to establish their own GOAT Committee to address state employee productivity and transparency, particularly regarding remote work since the pandemic. Unlike Musk's DOGE, GOAT lacks unilateral power, requiring legislative support for any proposed changes. The recent hearing collected testimonies from various state department officials regarding remote work, highlighting public demand for accountability. A Marquette University poll revealed mixed feelings among residents about returning state employees to in-office work, reflecting a broader conversation about the efficacy of remote work in the public sector.
The people who pay the salaries of the state employees want to know that there's more accountability than just, move your mouse every few minutes.
A recent Marquette University Law School poll described public sentiment on remote work for state employees as 'narrowly divided,' with 54 percent of respondents in favor of requiring them to return to work and 45 percent opposing such a policy.
