How will UWs $80 million share of the proposed plant be financed?
It will be part of the state budget. UW officials have given us conflicting accounts of the details, so we do not know how much will come from increases in the Madison campuss annual utility budget and how much will come from the capital budget. In any case, the amount will be amortized over 20 years. Note that taxpayers statewide, not just in Madison, pay these bills.
