I’m Dan Shafer. Let’s recombobulate. 

There’s been a whole lot happening in the political universe these past few months. Much of it has been rather discombobulating, you might say. From the first 100 days of the Trump administration to the high-stakes race for Wisconsin Supreme Court and everything else that went into the Spring Election in Wisconsin, it’s been a lot to wrap our heads around.

But now, we’re entering a new phase on Wisconsin’s political calendar. That’s right, we’re getting into budget season. 

The biennial budget is the biggest thing that happens in state politics every two years, and our elected officials in the Assembly and Senate are going to be making some important decisions in the very near future. 

Now is a great time to contact your representatives and let them know what you think our priorities should be for our next state budget. Because in a government by the people, participation is power, and your voice matters.
