Gov. Evers, Lt. Gov. Barnes to Host People's Budget Virtual Listening Sessions
MADISON — Gov. Tony Evers
and Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes today announced a series of People's Budget
virtual listening sessions as the state begins the 2021-2023 state
budget process. Gov. Evers and Lt. Gov. Barnes will host four virtual,
issue-based budget listening sessions to hear directly from families and
workers about the issues affecting Wisconsin. The first virtual
listening session will occur on Tues., Nov. 17, 2020 at 6 p.m. and will
focus on healthcare and public health in Wisconsin.
“Our first budget was crafted by and with the people of our state, and this budget will be no different,” said Gov. Evers. “The
listening sessions for our 2019-21 budget were successful in helping us
develop a budget that reflected the stories, experiences, and
priorities of folks across our state. Although we won't be able to host
these listening sessions in-person this time around, I look forward to
visiting with Wisconsinites virtually and hearing their thoughts and
feedback as we put together the People's Budget.”
A full schedule of these listening sessions is available below and on the governor's website here. All participants must register to attend on the governor's website here. Wisconsinites are also welcome to submit written comments on any topic at any time here.
