Fifty Three to Fifty Six: Our Reps and Our Budget

Our Reps and Our Budget

With the unveiling of the Joint Committee on Finance's $57.7 BILLION two year budget proposal, the JCF will be holding public hearings on the state budget in these six Wisconsin cities: Milwaukee, Green Bay, Rhinelander, DeForest, Prairie du Chien, and Chippewa Falls.

No Appleton, Menasha, Neenah, Oshkosh, or Fond du Lac.

Hopefully, as this advances, our state Assembly Reps and Senators will hold several informational and idea sessions. That will be challenge, as that would mean that they would need to have a basic understanding of a 1700+ page document, and be able to discuss this document. The least that they can do is hold a forum where they bring someone who does know what the budget entails.

But then again, if our representatives don't understand the budget they are to vote on, what are they doing?

The important thing is to see which representatives are going to follow through with their job - to be a voice for the citizens of the district that they represent.

How do they do this? By holding these informational and listening sessions with citizens back home, talking about what the budget proposal means, and bringing citizen concerns and ideas back to Madison.

For more information on the budget proposal, go here.

Brilliant', 'Quite Good', 'What?', these are just some of the comments made recently in the press regarding oshkosh rehabilitation services. The constantly changing fashionable take on oshkosh rehabilitation services demonstrates the depth of the subject. Remarkably oshkosh rehabilitation services is heralded by shopkeepers and investment bankers alike, leading many to state that it is important to remember that ‘what goes up must come down.’ Inevitably oshkosh rehabilitation services is often misunderstood by the aristocracy, who form the last great hope for our civilzation.ratwas
