JFC Takes Up K-12 Education Tomorrow
By John Forester(Don't Use) | May 18, 2011
The powerful Joint Finance Committee will take up the K-12 public instruction portion of the budget tomorrow, May 19th. (Here is a link to the K-12 Budget Papers the committee will be working from tomorrow. Simply scroll down to the “public instruction” papers.) The SAA and many other education groups have been lobbying hard for at least a significant piece of the additional $636 million in state revenues that the Legislative Fiscal Bureau recently projected would be available during the next biennium. But, Governor Walker and JFC co-chairs seem committed to using the money for debt reduction.
If you wish to use this opportunity to contact your legislators and the Joint Finance committee members – use the information from our May 13th Legislative Alert post.
