Lawmakers are voicing frustration with the UW for the latest move on university construction.
The state Senate this week voted down about 70 million-dollars in funding for a handful of construction projects at the university. Republican leader Devin LeMaheiu said Republicans scuttled the money because the university refused to answer their questions, and seemed to be trying to rush the construction projects through without being honest. One of those projects is UW-Madison’s engineering building. The university is not saying what the delay means for the building. LeMahieu said Republicans will consider releasing the money, but only if the UW comes back to the statehouse with answers and honesty.
