In his letter to the editor, Thomas once again is disingenuously claiming limited-term employee abuse at the Wisconsin Union and is using this as leverage to oppose the student-led effort to pass Wisconsin Union Facilities Improvement Plan this Spring. The plan aims to renovate and preserve the historic ambience of Memorial Union, and build a new more functional, appealing and energy-efficient green south campus union.
