A committee of Wisconsin legislators and citizens formed to review the states affirmative action policies approved at least two reform measures Monday night as members fought viciously over whether race and ethnicity should be considered in government contracting and university admissions.
State Sen. Lena Taylor D-Milwaukee and other supporters of affirmative action accused the committees founder and chairman, state Sen. Glenn Grothman R-West Bend, of trying to ram through proposed legislation that would abolish or scale back affirmative action.
