One Wisconsin lawmaker wants to pay people from out of state to come to school here, and never leave.
State Rep. Dave Murphy is pitching a plan that would pay UW system graduates who make more than 40-thousand-dollars a year to stay in Wisconsin for seven years after graduation. The grant would be worth ten-percent of the out of state tuition that someone would pay at a UW campus. Murphy says the idea is to fill Wisconsin’s worker shortfall with top-quality people from across the country.
