威斯康星州建筑委员会拒绝为UW项目拨款70M元, Wisconsin's State Building Commission denied $70M for UW projects, citing transparency concerns.

由于共和党对透明度的担心,威斯康星州建筑委员会拒绝为威斯康星大学各项目,包括UW-Madison工程大楼,拨款近7 000万美元的请求。 The State Building Commission in Wisconsin denied a request to reallocate nearly $70 million for various University of Wisconsin (UW) projects, including the UW-Madison engineering building, due to Republican concerns over transparency. 拒付的资金原打算用于工程建筑和其他园区翻修,但4至4票按党派划分。 The denied funds were intended for the engineering building and other campus renovations but the 4-4 vote split along party lines. 如果资金未获核准,UW系统可能需要缩小项目范围,以满足成本估计。 If the funds are not approved, the UW system may need to reduce project scopes to meet cost estimates. 工程大楼最初预算为3.47亿美元,现在费用为4.19亿美元,部分原因是增加了一个由工业伙伴供资的商业楼层。 The engineering building, initially budgeted at $347 million, now costs $419 million, partly due to adding a business floor funded by industry partners.
