Jail Cells vs. Students
Last budget, the Democrats coined the phrase "concrete vs. kids" to slam Republicans, who they said put a greater emphasis on budget increases for transporation and roadbuilding funds than funds for K-12 education.
Sen. Jauch has now brought up in the last two meetings that the Assembly Republican budget includes a 12 percent increase for Department of Corrections funding, but just a 3 percent increase for the UW System.
"You are shutting the door to higher education with your budget rather than opening the door, which is where we need to be," Jauch said.
