The new budget proposed by Governor Doyle is seriously
impacting the Wisconsin Historical Society and family
history sites all over Wisconsin. (See article below.)
There is an open letter from the Wisconsin State
Genealogical Society President at:
http://www.wiiowagensoc.org/WSGS1.pdf

In that letter, it mentions that we need to make our
view known to the Joint Finance Committee. The next
public hearing for the Joint Finance Committee is in
River Falls on Thursday, April 4th! It is vital that
many people are able to make their opinions known about
the proposed cut-backs. (The WSGS President states is
so much better than I can.) If you do not
live in that area, there are also hearings in
Platteville and Madison (Milwaukee's hearing is already
over). (See details for the Joint Finance
Committee public hearings at:
http://www.legis.state.wi.us/../lfb/jfc.html)

If you cannot attend the hearings, please write to your
senators and representatives, with copies going to the
Joint Finance Committee chairperson. If you live out
of state, please take the time to write a
letter to the Joint Finance Committee, telling them
about how important many of these services are.

Thank you,
