Student protesters continually denied opportunity to formally address UW Board of Regents.  (Capital Times, 2/15/2016)
Protesters agitating for a better climate on University of Wisconsin campuses for students of color have repeatedly asked to address the Board of Regents, but say they haven’t received a straight answer on why they have not been put on the agenda.

It gets worse on June 1st.

Senate won't take up WEDC fraud bill passed by Assembly.  (Madison.com, 2/17/2016)
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, said he won’t schedule the bill if it doesn’t have the support of Senate Economic Development and Commerce Committee chairman Sen. Rick Gudex, R-Fond du Lac. 
Gudex hasn’t scheduled a hearing on the bill and his spokesman said Monday he shares concerns raised by the Wisconsin Economic Development Association that the bill could discourage legitimate businesses from applying for WEDC awards for fear of being punished for unintentionally misleading the agency.
