Ahead of 2018 election, Gov. Scott Walker attacked for spending more on corrections than colleges

Candidate Kelda Helen Roys used part of her time to attack Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who is running for a third term. Roys, a former state Assembly member from Madison, accused Walker of putting prisons ahead of the University of Wisconsin System, saying:I think in 2011, it was Walker’s first budget, and we had the dubious distinction of spending — for the first time in our state’s history — more on our prison system that we did on the entire UW System.
