The state Assembly is expected to undo a part of the state budget proposal that would have forced the University of Wisconsin to turn down about $40 million in federal money to help pay for broadband services. The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee approved forcing the University of Wisconsin System to return the money and no longer support WiscNet, a non-profit cooperative that brings high-speed Internet services to about 75 percent of public schools in Wisconsin and nearly all public libraries.
