Area legislators propose exempting 2-year UW campuses from budget cuts

The proposed 300 million dollar cut to the University of Wisconsin System budget would be too hard on the state’s two year campuses, like Marshfield and Wausau. That’s according to State Representative John Spiros, who says he is working with other lawmakers including Representative Dave Heaton of Wausau to try saving the two year campuses from the budget cuts.  “In our two year schools, I know that we have one in the campus here at Marshfield, there’s campuses throughout that would be hurt immensely from those budget cuts.”
