Taxpayer rage about technical college costs boiled over as state legislators grilled the president of the Wisconsin Technical College System at the State Capitol on Thursday.
“There is a horrific outcry in the western part of the state,” said Kitty Rhoades, R-Hudson, co-chair of the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee.
She told WTCS President Dan Clancy that the intensity of complaints about property taxes that support the technical colleges spiked after a state audit found that many technical college instructors are paid more than professors at state universities in the same areas of Wisconsin.
