This week, the Joint Committee on Finance will be taking action on several agencies, some of which are charged with ensuring a strong Wisconsin workforce. JFC legislators should be discussing and tackling ways to promote a strong and healthy workforce. Instead, Republican members of the Committee took action during its first budget executive session to silence debate on many popular pieces of Governor Evers’ budget that would support our workforce, including paid family leave.
“Throughout this budget process, Republicans have rejected Governor Evers’ innovative solutions to addressing Wisconsin’s unique workforce challenges. There’s still time for Republicans to wake up and listen to the needs of their communities. Time will tell if they have the courage or ambition.” ###
