Funding for an engineering building at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's flagship campus was rejected by Republican state lawmakers on June 1, 2023.
Projects on UW campuses took the biggest hit. The Joint Finance Committee approved roughly half of the $1.8 billion Evers wanted for UW.
Democratic Sen. Kelda Roys, whose district includes the UW-Madison campus, blamed Republicans for cutting projects there because Madison is a Democratic stronghold.
"It is a terrible economic decision," she said. "It makes no economic sense. It only makes sense of you think of it as political retribution."
