Conference committee meets today
The eight-member conference committee will meet at 3 p.m. today to vote on the report of the state budget agreement.
Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch circulated a Legislative Fiscal Bureau memo this morning showing the compromise budget includes a 6.6 percent spending increase for all funds.
The LFB memo compared spending increases for all funds, GPR and GPR plus new SEG funds for the various versions of the budget produced by the governor, Joint Finance, the Senate, the Assembly, the governor's revised budget and Friday's package.

Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, is saying he'll vote against the budget agreement.
Americans for Prosperity delivered toy pigs to legislators as a symbol of their displeasure with the agreement, and Huebsch and Doyle received hearing aids.
