JFC at Impasse
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | June 5, 2017
From WisPolitics.com …
The Joint Finance Committee is dropping plans to meet tomorrow with Assembly and Senate Republicans hitting an impasse on major pieces remaining in the budget such as K-12 funding, transportation and taxes, according to the offices of the co-chairs.
JFC had planned to meet Tuesday and Thursday, and Co-chair Alberta Darling, R-River Hills, said she is still hopeful the committee can convene later this week. But she said an Assembly GOP proposal to tinker with Gov. Scott Walker’s K-12 education funding proposal has added a new division for the caucuses, which were already at odds over transportation funding.
A spokeswoman for Co-chair John Nygren, R-Marinette, described the two caucuses as at an impasse.
