Cost to Attend UW Platteville up $497

According to the Dubuque Telegraph-Herald tuition and student fees at UW-Platteville are set to rise by $497.

Of course, students wouldn't be getting hit with such huge cost increases if Rep. Garthwaite hadn't voted against a reasonable tuition cap (AA 14 to AB 75) or if Rep. Garthwaite hadn't voted to cut the UW by $49.9 million over the next 2 years.

I'm sure that Rep. Garthwaite is explaining to students that times are tough and that there just wasn't money to maintain the UW's budget. Well, I have an idea for Phil - if you undo the $37 million in pork projects you voted for you'll be three quarters of the way there.
