MADISON â?? Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker is defending his decision to delay a bill that would increase financial aid at University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
Decker spokeswoman Carrie Lynch says the plan to transfer about $600,000 to use for financial aid must be reviewed by the Joint Finance Committee like other spending bills.
She denied that politics were behind the delay as some have suggested. She added that the measure could still pass.
