UW-Whitewater hosted the first of three public hearings on the state budget April 9. Iâm pleased that the first of the âroadshowâ hearings was held in my district. Other hearings followed in Rhinelander and Menomonie. The fourth and final hearing will be held online Wednesday, April 28.
I want to thank UW-Whitewater for hosting a well-organized event with distancing between people seated in the Irving L. Young auditorium, mandatory face coverings and microphone cleansing when people chose to take their masks off to speak. The university also set up an excellent audio/visual system so people in line to testify knew when it was their turn to come to the microphone.
