The workshop will explain how the state budget is developed every year, and the various steps it passes through on its way to the Governor. The role of the higher education committee will also be discussed and the legislation that comes before it. Other topics that we read about will be brought up. I am hoping to have a legislator or two as a guest(s). Politics will also be discussed and how both parties tend to work together in Massachusetts. The discussion will show how many of the University goals are addressed in the legislative process.
