A Fascinating Look at Wisconsin's K-12 and Higher Ed Finance Battles

Much continues to be written about Wisconsin's K-12 and Higher Education spending growth, an issue that will be front and center as the State grapples with a structural deficit and slowing tax revenue growth. Following is a recent roundup of rhetoric on this matter:

• Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance: K-12 Spending Growth Far Exceeds University Funding
• Retiring University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor John Wiley: "From Crossroads to Crisis"
• Dave Blaska looks at Wiley's article.
• The "Club for Growth" made an open records request on Wiley's communications around the Madison Magazine article.
• Former Madison Mayor Paul Soglin on Wiley's article.
• An Interview with Todd Barry on Wisconsin's structural deficit and significant increase in debt.
• A roundup of articles on Wisconsin's budget deficit.
• Jason Stein: Whos to Blame for the State Budget "Shortfall"?

We'll certainly see many more articles on this topic as the Governor and Legislature address the state's spending difficulties.
