The Joint Finance Committee has recently passed several motions which removed critical issues from the state budget, made it difficult to reintroduce those issues into the budget, and made a major change to the overall budget process.
While this was a disappointing outcome, AARP Wisconsin is still fighting to advance our priorities. We still want:
- more support for caregivers
- broadband expansion
- reductions in the high cost of prescription drugs
- Medicaid expansion, and
- more ways for workers to save for retirement.
We are still fighting to make life better for those aged 50+ in Wisconsin and we still need your help.
Contact your legislators and ask them how they plan to address these issues. Whether you’re a champion of one issue or all five, your voice makes a difference.
