UW Votes

To the surprise of some, the committee adopted the governor's recommendation on budget paper 180, authorizing $449 million borrowing for building program projects.

Since the building program is an agency where the committee starts from base, the JFC could have nixed the governor's proposal with an 8-8 partisan vote. Instead, the vote was 16-0 to adopt the governor's recommendation.

In addition, the committee unanimously to adopt Doyle's recommendations on budget paper 181 regarding building projects for the UW System.

The committee split 8-8 on papers 182 and 183, meaning the programs return to base funding.
