MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — The legislature’s budget committee is scheduled to meet today/Friday.
It’s been nearly two weeks since the sixteen-member Joint Committee on Finance last met to work on the next two-year state budget. A scheduled meeting late last week was cancelled as negotiations between Senate and Assembly Republicans broke down, with Senate leadership unhappy with the direction things were headed regarding spending.
Now it’s crunch time. With the fiscal year ending on Monday, failure to get a budget done could mean uncertainty for local governments and school districts budget planning.
The committee meeting is scheduled to start at 10 a.m., with a lengthy agenda.
