Two years ago, the legislature’s Joint Finance Committee (JFC) held six public hearings around the state to gather public feedback on the proposed state budget. This time around, that is down to four public hearings (Janesville, Oak Creek, River Falls & Green Bay).
We strongly encourage board members and administrators to attend and testify if at all possible. However, if you are unable to attend to testify in person, you can still submit written testimony to the committee electronically at the following email address:
