Minutes - Final Unless Amended by

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.
