University of Wisconsin funding: (Gov.) Walker has said his budget will not cut UW funding, and has suggested the UW System could see an increase tied to performance-based metrics. (Senate Majority Leader) Fitzgerald said each two-year budget cycle should be reviewed independently. Campus carry: Rep. Jesse Kremer, R-Kewaskum, has said he plans to reintroduce legislation to allow concealed weapons to be carried on college campuses. University of Wisconsin-Madison students opposed to the idea have promised to protest it by carrying sex toys on campus. “That’s a good example of a bill that probably, you may have to make changes to it to get the support, but certainly I think we’ll take a look at that and probably tackle it earlier rather than later if we look at that,” Fitzgerald said.
