Scott Walker’s ‘State of the State’

Higher education: Walker has touted his tuition freezes for the University of Wisconsin System, and a recent boost in state funding for the system. In contrast, Kelda Helen Roys pointed out that under Walker, in 2011, Wisconsin for the first time spent “more on our prison system than we did” on the UW System. Our rating: Mostly True (the trend started before Walker took office).
