Last summer, the Wisconsin Legislature was mulling over a proposal for a Taxpayer Bill of Rights. TABOR is a Republican-led initiative intended to constrain state spending through the adoption of a constitutional amendment. TABOR stems from the aspiration for fewer and lower taxes, but it is a drastic proposal that spares no consideration for those reliant upon state services. The proposed TABOR would strip the UW System down to its bare bones and force UW-Madison to become a private university.
