The Joint Finance Committee will meet tomorrow to restart its work on the state budget with an agenda that includes more than 50 topics, ranging from the UW system to Transportation.
It will be the first executive session on the budget since a June 19 committee meeting was called off as budget talks hit a roadblock.
The committee also noticed a 13.10 hearing tomorrow to take up the Department of Public Instruction’s request to release $49.7 million to fund a literacy program. The package was originally approved two years ago. But the GOP-controlled committee had declined to release the bulk of the money that had been set aside after Dem Gov. Tony Evers used his partial veto power on the package.
The state Supreme Court yesterday overturned those vetoes, and the money would lapse to the general fund unless it’s released by Monday, the end of the biennium.
