For each biennial budget bill, the Wisconsin Budget Project at WCCF prepares a comprehensive summary that describes the significant budget issues in a variety of areas. It focuses primarily on issues relating to children and families, but also describes the various measures being used to balance the budget. We prepared such a document about two weeks ago (based on the Dept. of Administration’s budget descriptions) and have now updated our summary with additional information from the Legislative Fiscal Bureau.
The WCCF summary includes information about more than 100 measures in the budget bill and references to where to find more detailed information about each of those items in the 706-page Fiscal Bureau summary or in other budget documents. We will follow each of those issues as the budget process continues and will update the summary at each stage of the legislative process. You can find our budget summary at:

On March 20, WCCF presented an hour-long webinar about the proposed budget. That webcast can be found online at http://mediasite.ics.uwex.edu/mediasite5/Viewer/?peid=e41257a052bd4dbf844c4b1ca60349aa.
