Title
From the Director or of Intergovernmental Relations and the Interim Assistant Fiscal and Budget Administrator, an informational report on the impact of the State Budget (Considered by the Committees on Finance & Audit and Intergovernmental Relations) (INFORMATIONAL ONLY UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE COMMITTEE)
Body
The 2011-13 Governor's Budget Recommendations (SB27/AB 40) includes significant reductions in state aid provided to Milwaukee County in both 2011 and 2012. However, Wisconsin Act 10, also known as the Budget Repair Bill, would provide the County the ability to modify non-base wage and benefits for employees represented by non-public safety unions once their existing contracts expire. The unique challenge facing Milwaukee County is that a large portion of these savings have already been budgeted in 2010 and 2011 leaving it limited ability to offset these reductions.
