2025-27 State Budget

Made for Wisconsin

Over the past few months, the Joint Committee on Finance in the Wisconsin State Legislature met with agencies and stakeholders from all different backgrounds to create a financial plan for Wisconsin. The Committee's main goal is to continue to responsibly invest in our state while addressing Wisconsin's needs. In addition to meeting with agencies and advocates, we held listening sessions throughout the state of Wisconsin to solicit public input on the budget and better understand the greatest issues facing our communities. Here's the end result of our work!
