University of Wisconsin regents used their monthly meeting to rip a proposed constitutional amendment that would limit tax increases.
The Board of Regents heard from Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, and an aide to Rep. Jeff Wood, R-Chippewa Falls, on Friday. The authors of the Taxpayer Protection Amendment assured regents it would neither harm access to a higher education nor diminish the university’s role as an engine of the state’s economy.
Regents replied it would devastate the university’s ability to provide a quality education to the masses.
