Now that the Legislature has completed its work on the 2011-13 budget, the Wisconsin Budget Project has updated its comprehensive (44 page) summary of the budget bill.  It primarily focuses on the issues relating to children and families, and it shows how each policy item evolved over the course of the budget process. Each section also includes links to the Fiscal Bureau documents and to other relevant material.

If you’re looking for a much more condensed summary of what the final budget bill means for Wisconsin families, there are a couple of other documents on the WCCF and Wiscosnin Budget Project  websites that will help.  Read more in today’s Budget Project blog post.

We will produce further analyses of the budget in the coming weeks – beginning next week with an examination of how it will affect Medicaid policy-making in Wisconsin. Please give us your feedback on any of the documents we produce, so we can continue to try to improve our efforts to provide summaries and analysis that people find timely and useful.
