Falk releases Dane Co. budget, blasts leggies
Dane Co. Exec. Kathleen Falk said counties have more at stake than public schools should the Legislature fail to reach a budget agreement, and she slammed the Legislature for "not getting their job done" during a press conference where she unveiled the Dane County budget.
She said counties face more difficulty in this uncertain budget season, "Because there are literally hundred of lines in the county budget that affect the services for citizens here."
Falk said that there are millions of dollars that could go either way with the outcome of the state budget, and said she tried to construct the most accurate budget while looking at the political makeup of the Legislature.
"Because of the failure of the Legislature to finish a budget I had to make my best guesstimates on what I think those numbers will be at the end," Falk said.
