Dear Editor: Mayor Paul Soglin?s recent lamenting the terrible treatment of Madison by the state is classic crying the blues. In truth, like most capitals with major state universities, we secure a remarkable level of largesse and have been beneficiaries for years. This consistent input of funds, talent and buildings has enabled Madison to pursue one of the most flacid economic development programs extant. Nowhere is there the effort of Columbus, Ohio, or Austin, Texas. Or Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina or Berkeley, California.
