Absolute Madness

I have no idea what this would accomplish:

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- University of Wisconsin leaders fear that Gov. Scott Walker will spin off the flagship UW-Madison campus from the rest of the UW System.

The leaders wrote to Walker on Tuesday saying they've learned that next week's budget proposal may include a provision to remove UW-Madison from the UW System. The officials say such a move would create unnecessary duplication and result in higher costs to taxpayers.

The letter was signed by UW Board of Regents President Charles Pruitt, Vice President Mike Spector and UW System President Kevin Reilly. A copy was obtained by The Associated Press.

Walker spokesman Cullen Werwie told AP on Wednesday he could not confirm anything about the budget. He says details including UW System funding and flexibility will be released in the governor's budget next Tuesday.

Where the hell was that policy proposal during the campaign?

This will only get worse before it gets better.
