Noted: Petrowski says the bigger and more controversial things often get dealt with later in the budget process. That’s why he doesn’t see the University of Wisconsin budget cuts getting immediate attention. He is concerned about what that UW budget is going to do to the smaller, two-year campuses like those in Marshfield and Wausau. “When you get to a lot of the two-year schools, there’s not a lot of places that they can cut other than personnel, you know, like when you’re dealing with Madison of course, you have a lot of the research coming in, a lot of those dollars coming in through research, and other activities, and like in UW Marathon County, there’s not that option there.”
