As students from the state’s private colleges lobby legislators for more financial aid, one lawmaker sees things differently.
Republican Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend) says “it’s not surprising that young children who know nothing about life” want more money. He says the kids should be happy with what they’re already getting.
“Quite frankly, it’s unconscionable, as people get laid off or being told they have to take cuts in pay, for Governor Doyle and certain members of the state legislature to increase scholarships by 40% in two years!”
