Newsmakers: State Budget Hearing Advocacy
The legislature’s Joint Finance Committee will wrap up its public budget hearings next week in Minocqua and Wisconsinites from all corners of the state have been turning out to share their priorities – ranging from K-12 education to local government funding and health care. It is the busy season for advocacy organizations that work to support everyday citizens to share their stories about issues that may not be represented by a group of paid lobbyists in the Capitol. On April 17, 2023, WisconsinEye’s Newsmakers was joined by Tami Jackson of the Wisconsin Board for People with Developmental Disabilities, Peter Bakken of the Wisconsin Council of Churches and Jim Flaherty of AARP Wisconsin.
