If it’s your observation that the UW System and higher education aren’t getting much play in the gubernatorial recall election, you’re not alone. K-12 and Medicaid seem to be higher priorities, some observers say. “The UW System has been hit hard by the last two governors (Doyle and Walker, with a pair of $250 million base-budget cuts), and I don’t expect a lot to change after June 5,” says political scientist Joe Heim. The Capital Times quotes Heim and quite a few others.
