Other items on the agenda that day include some proposals for new sales tax exemptions, some of the smaller DHS issues, and the public benefits fund used for low-income weatherization and energy assistance.

A full list of the items being considered can be found here, with links to each of the Legislative Fiscal Bureau papers.

For a short overview of K-12 issues in the budget, see the Wisconsin Budget Project’s two-page summary.
