Home 9 Tax and Budget 9 State Capitol Report – Week of January 11, 2010

There will be lots of action in the Capitol this week. Right now, there are a dozen public hearings scheduled Tuesday through Thursday. Here is a list of all the committee hearings scheduled.

On Wednesday, the Joint Audit Committee will decide if an audit is needed for the Medical Assistance Program and Educational Programs for Working Adults at the Wisconsin Technical College System. The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families supports the proposed audits of these programs. Here is a link to the hearing notice.

Looking ahead, the Legislature will be in session from January 19 – 28. I will preview the session in a special Friday blog post.
