I transmitted today the following annual statement to the House Ways and Means Committee. For previous versions of this statement from me, please click here.
=============================================
Dear Ms. Lincoln,
I am scheduled to meet with Chairman Dempsey at 10AM on Thursday.
My top three priorities going into the budget meeting are:
1) Full funding of the Special Education Circuit Breaker account to achieve 75% reimbursement (account 7061-0012)
2) Achieving the Governor’s numbers or better for Chapter 70 and UGGA.
3) Freezing rates for Chapter 766 schools, a key cost-driver for local government (Outside Section 48 of the Governor’s budget)
In addition to these three top priorities, I wish to highlight the list further below of accounts which are also particularly important to me and my constituents.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Will Brownsberger
