Joint Finance Committee Public Hearings

This week, my colleagues on the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) and I will begin the process of public hearings. Members of the JFC will travel to the proverbial "four corners of the state" to listen to Wisconsinites' comments, concerns, and opinions about the proposed state budget. At these hearings, the public is invited to appear before the JFC and speak to the members about their concerns or support of items in the proposed budget.

Listed below are the JFC public hearing dates, times, and locations:

Wednesday, March 18 (10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.)
Brillion High School
Endries Performing Arts Center
W1101 County Road HR
Brillion, WI 54110

Friday, March 20 (10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
Alverno College
Pitman Theatre
3400 South 43rd Street
Milwaukee, WI 53234

Monday, March 23 (10:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.)
University of Wisconsin-Barron County
Fine Arts Theatre
1800 College Drive
Rice Lake, WI 54868

Thursday, March 26 (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.)
Reedsburg High School
CAL Center Auditorium
1100 South Albert Avenue
Reedsburg, WI 53959

These locations are regionally-based around the state. I understand that it's difficult for many people to travel long distances to attend these public hearings and for this reason the JFC has created an email address where everyone's input can be heard. This email address enables individuals that are unable to attend the public hearings to send their comments, questions, and concerns regarding the proposed state budget.

Please feel free to send your opinions to:
BudgetComments@legis.wisconsin.gov

The address sends messages directly to the JFC committee clerk and is a great resource for constituents like you to voice your opinions about Wisconsin's 2015-17 budget. The email address will be functional through the entire time of the public hearings process, ending on Friday, March 27th.

All comments and information sent to this address will be compiled and delivered to every member of the Joint Finance Committee for their consideration.
