A Note from Rep. Edming I'm pleased to announce that leaders on the Joint Committee on Finance have rejected changes to Long Term Care in the next state budget. The new plan directs the state to begin a comprehensive review of FamilyCare and IRIS services and allows Wisconsin to begin negotiations with the federal government to find cost savings. I've heard from many of my constituents about the Governor's proposed changes and I'm happy that they have been removed. I believe there's a better way to improve our Long Term care programs without jeopardizing their continued success. Many of my constituents rely on these services that provide resources and support necessary to live a quality life. I'm grateful for the input I received from individuals in my district who brought this issue to the forefront of the budget debate, and I'm honored to be a part of implementing this updated plan.
