ONLINE: State Budget Listening Sessions

Melissa Agard served on the Dane County Board of Supervisors and as 48th District representative in the Wisconsin Assembly; in 2020 she was sworn in by Supreme Court Justice Jill Karofsky as Wisconsin's 16th District senator.
press release: It's budget season and Senator Agard wants to hear your thoughts on Governor Evers' Badger Bounceback Budget for the 2021-23 biennium! Over the next week, Senator Agard will be hosting several listening sessions to hear your thoughts on the budget and how it would affect you.
Below are the dates, times, and themes for each listening session:

We ask that attendees keep their comments brief, roughly one minute, in order to give all attendees an opportunity to share their thoughts. Time limits will be enforced. If you are unable to make a listening session on a specific topic, please submit your comments to Sen.Agard@legis.wi.gov and we will address them!
