We have just learned that the Assembly will take the first action on the proposed JFC version of the 2011-2013 biennial state budget. Speaker Fitzgerald's office is stating that they believe the floor debate will begin Tuesday, 06/14/2011 at around 11:00am.
Having written this we must caution that everything is subject to change as we have been learning from the GOP Majority. It is also suspected that there will be a substantial increase in security in and around the state capitol.
The proposed 2011-2013 biennial budget, even with some minor JFC revisions is the most controversial state budget in decades, if not the history of Wisconsin. This budget bill is the most anti-union, anti-middle class, pro-wealthy and pro-corporation loaded with many tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations and more taxes shifted to the middle class and lower income. It also cuts many of the social programs that are in place to help everyone in Wisconsin achieve at least some level of decency in thei living style.
