GOP Blocks Funding for Key University Building Projects
TL;DR Summary
Republican lawmakers rejected funding for the University of Wisconsin's top priority, the replacement of an engineering building on its flagship Madison campus, approving allocations for about 60% of the state government and UW projects sought by Gov. Tony Evers. The Republican-controlled budget committee voted along party lines to fund nearly $2.4 billion in building projects statewide, down from the $3.8 billion Evers had asked for. Projects on UW campuses took the biggest hit, with the Joint Finance Committee approving roughly half of the $1.8 billion Evers wanted for UW.
