Additional $150 million over two years in budget will lead to expanded career opportunities says Assembly Democratic leader.

MADISON – Governor Evers announced that his biennial budget will include an additional $150 million over two years for the University of Wisconsin System. Assembly Democratic Leader Gordon Hintz (D-Oshkosh) released the following statement on the Governor’s plan:

“The UW System is Wisconsin's number one asset when it comes to job creation and offering economic opportunity.

The Governor’s proposal for higher education will serve as a foundation to strengthen our UW System campuses across the state for years to come.”
