Wisconsin budget drama (and Russ column) draws big hits on British site

We linked recently to the guest column by UW-Green Bay Prof. Meir Russ in The Guardian, one of Great Britain’s (and the world’s) most popular news sources. The piece was sharply critical of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s budget priorities. A Guardian editor messaged Russ Wednesday to tell him the column was that day’s most-read piece on the paper’s online op-ed site, with about 30,000 hits. If you missed the column, and the many reader comments, it’s archived here.
