“This is slamming the door shut for the people who need the services the most.” – County Board Supervisor.

“This cuts the Tech Colleges by 30%. We graduate 400,000 students a year and place 94% of them in jobs. We already have 1,400 people on a waiting list.” -- CVTC board member.

“Cutting off the UW Madison from the UW system is like cutting off the head of the horse and expecting it to run.” -- Extension Committee member.

“I make $11.57 an hour. I am losing 50% of my first paycheck every month…I would have liked to go to the Joint Finance Committee hearings but I can’t because of the price of gas.” -- Custodian.

“Eliminating the requirement for cost effectiveness studies is just plain dumb. Just like the selling off of power plants.” -- Eau Claire resident.

“You know ‘Eau Claire’ means ‘clear water.’ Our college students love playing in the river. Thirty years ago the rivers were so bad you couldn’t go into the rivers. We don’t want to go back to those days.” -- Worker on Water Street.

“International mining companies are coming to Trempealeau County. If Trempealeau County loses any more resources the very people who oversee this [mining] will lose their ability to protect the environment and the health of the people…We need to make choices for the good of our community.” -- County Supervisor.
