The Wisconsin legislature’s budget-writing committee canceled its Wednesday meeting, but still plans to finish all its work by the end of Thursday.
Committee co-chair Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Madison, said the meeting had to be canceled because of delays in drafting motions for the committee to consider. But Pocan said there is agreement among Democrats who control the committee on the remaining unresolved issues. Those include aid to schools, cuts to state agencies and Gov. Jim Doyle’s proposals to impose a new tax on oil companies and let some felons out of prison early.
