Budget Comparison Document Released; Assembly Voting on Budget Wednesday

The non-partisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau just released their comparative summary of the Governor’s budget recommendations to the Joint Finance Committee’s (JFC) actions: https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/misc/lfb/budget/2017_19_biennal_budget/043_comparative_summary_of_budget_recommendations_governor_and_joint_committee_on_finance_entire_document_september_2017.pdf

The State Assembly is set to vote on the budget as passed by JFC on Wednesday of this week. It is unclear when the Senate will meet to vote on the budget because it is rumored that Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald does not have enough votes in the Senate Republican Caucus to pass the budget at this time.
