Budget Input Request from Senator Larson

From Senator Chris Larson:

Voice your Opinions on the State Budget

Given the significance of the 2015-17 state budget, it is incredibly important to provide everyone in our local communities an opportunity to speak directly to their elected officials and engage in meaningful and productive dialogue.

The Joint Finance Committee will be holding public hearings as they review the budget, and will make changes over the coming months, before approving a final version to be voted on by the full Legislature, which typically occurs in June.

It is important for our neighbors to attend the hearings, to make sure their views and thoughts are taken into consideration as the state budget moves forward.

Below are the details for the public hearings.
