Growth in State Spending
Corrections and University of Wisconsin System
1990 and 2011
As priorities shift, corrections budget passes UW System. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 8/16/2012)
Excerpt: For 2011-'13, Gov. Scott Walker and GOP lawmakers allotted just under $2.1 billion to the state's public universities and $2.25 billion to the Department of Corrections. It's a gap that is unlikely to close any time soon.
It's also not the work of a single budget and not the decision of a single party. Rather, the gap is the culmination of years of policy changes and shifting priorities, spanning Democratic and Republican governors, crisscrossing political lines and reflecting national trends, a Journal Sentinel analysis of more than 20 years of state budgets shows.
