David Pettersen: Thanks, Tommy Thompson, for your strong UW support

Letter to the editor: As a political independent and current student, I am grateful for those that have made these efforts possible, which includes countless Democrats and Republicans who have worked together over the years. One may not always agree with his politics, but former Gov. Tommy Thompson invested in UW as governor — and his recent video offering his support of our grand university is proof that he cares deeply about helping bridge the divide between the state and the university. For that, the ol’ Badger deserves bipartisan praise.
