The head of the state Assembly Colleges Committee is lashing out at a new proposal to raise the salary ranges for University of Wisconsin chancellors.
Rep. Steve Nass, R-Whitewater, says itâ??s irresponsible to consider raising the Madison chancellorâ??s salary by 66 percent.
With a new budget deficit looming, he says other state employees might be lucky to get 2 percent raises.
The UW is looking for new chancellors at Madison, Parkside and Nassâ??s hometown of Whitewater.
