Dane Co. executive to hold series of listening sessions on 2012 budget. (Waterloo/Marshall Courier-News, 9/7/2011)
Excerpt: Dane County Executive Joe Parisi announced last week he will be conducting a series of listening sessions throughout the month of September to allow citizens the opportunity to learn more about the 2012 county budget and provide their input.
The county is currently facing an estimated $6 million deficit in its 2012 county budgets due to what Parisi has blamed on “severe cuts from the state government.”
Two of the September sessions will be done jointly with the Dane County Board of Supervisors, and will focus primarily on the proposed human services budget – human services accounts for more than 50 percent of Dane County’s nearly $500 million budget.

The following dates and times are when scheduled listening sessions will take place:
Human services:
• Monday, Sept. 12 from 6-8 p.m. at the Alliant Energy Center;
• Tuesday, Sept. 13 from 6-8 p.m. at the Alliant Energy Center.
General budget:
• Thursday, Sept. 15 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. at Electronic Theatre Controls in Middleton; and
• Monday, Sept. 19 from 6-8 p.m. at Stoughton Senior Center.
The county executive’s budget recommendations are expected to be introduced to the county board by Oct. 1. Another public hearing will be held in October, prior to full county board consideration of the committee recommendations in early November. Final action by the county board on the 2012 county budget is expected by late November.
