UW System Testimony Complete

Currently, a trio of representatives from the Medical College of Wisconsin are before the committee, which has $10 million at stake in the Capital Budget to buy a neurological scanner.

Following MCOW's testimony, there will be a public hearing on the Capital Budget. About 30 residents have signed up to present testimony to the committee.

Following this meeting, there are no meetings scheduled for the JFC as the co-chairs, Sen. Russ Decker and Rep. Kitty Rhoades, continue to negotiate a starting point on the budget. They are expected to meet later today or tomorrow to discuss which portions of the budget will be taken from Gov. Jim Doyle's proposal, and which portions will be negotiated by the committee starting from this year's base funding. They will also discuss the schedule and other ground rules.
