By Oliver Willis - October 23, 20180
Wisconsin students are still paying the price for what Dale Kooyenga and his fellow Republicans did to them.
Wisconsin state Rep. Dale Kooyenga is already under fire for denying clear video evidence that he was drunk on the job and now hes misleading voters about the harmful spending cuts that he and other Republicans have made to education.
During a recent debate with Democrat Julie Henszey, his opponent for an open state Senate seat, Kooyenga claimed that there has not been a cut to education since he has been on the Joint Finance Committee, which writes the state budget.
Thats false.
According to the Legislatures nonpartisan budget agency, Republicans actually slashed funding for the University of Wisconsin twice while Kooyenga served on the finance committee: a $66 million cut in the 2013-15 budget, and a $250 million cut in the 2015-17 budget.
The Wisconsin State Senate Democratic Committee (SSDC) almost immediately slammed Kooyenga for his deception in a press release.
