Meeting Agenda - Final

Environment, Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee

Consider:

Who benefits? Who is burdened?

Who does not have a voice at the table?

How can policymakers mitigate unintended consequences?

This meeting is being conducted on land now known and

recognized as Dane County, Wisconsin. We acknowledge that

this land is at the same time the ancestral, traditional, &

contemporary land of the Ho-Chunk, Sauk & Kickapoo nations.
