Gov. Jim Doyle touted Wisconsinâ??s continued commitment to education, research and knowledge today at the opening of the $134 million Wisconsin Institutes for Medical Research East Tower on the UW-Madison campus.
Doyle congratulated university officials for their persistent pursuit of the project, even through times when it was unclear whether ratification would be possible.
â??Even when times are not so good and even when the state budget picture doesnâ??t look great, it is still crucial that we move forward on major investments in the state that will be here for decades and decades and decades to come,â? Doyle said.
