Winnebago County’s University of Wisconsin Extension office won’t have to take a budget cut because of the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s controversial hiring of instructor Kevin Barrett, a Sept. 11 conspiracy theorist.
The Winnebago County Board’s legislative committee rejected Monday a resolution to cut the UW-Extension’s budget by $8,427 ââ?¬â?? the amount Barrett is paid. The resolution came to Winnebago County after originating in Ozaukee County.
