Joint Finance Committee, Governor Evers Announce State Budget Public Hearings

 Joint Finance Committee Hearings 

Senator Howard Marklein and Representative Mark Born have announced that the Joint Finance Committee will hold four public hearings on the state budget bill--three will be in-person and one will be virtual. These hearings are critical for state budget advocacy. Members of the Committee often make changes to the budget based on the top issues that are raised at these hearings. 

The hearings will be:

In-Person (all starting at 10 a.m.) 

April 9 at UW-Whitewater

April 21 at the the Hodag Dome in  Rhinelander, WI

Virtual

Governor Evers Hearings 

Governor Evers will hold six virtual hearings on the budget as well. Pre-registration is required. This is a great opportunity to thank the Governor for investments made in the state budget bill and to provide ideas for how the state could utilize the additional federal stimulus dollars that will be coming to Wisconsin.
