Home 9 Tax and Budget 9 Senate Committee Endorses Constitutional Limits on State and Local Revenue and Spending ( Page 3 )
SJR 48 Would Also Allow Local Governments to Exempt Themselves from Mandates
There are too many constitutional amendments under consideration in the state capitol now to keep up with all of them, but we’re trying as best we can.   One of them, Senate Joint Resolution 48, was endorsed by a Senate Committee today.  It would build into the Wisconsin Constitution detailed formulas for capping state and local revenue and spending.  It would also establish grounds for local governments to exempt themselves from state-imposed mandates. 
Read more about SJR 48 in today’s Wisconsin Budget Project Blog post.
