Dear ILMPS Supporter,
I know that most of us are trying to find ways to cut down on our consumption of butter burgers and frozen custard, but the next time you go to Culver's make sure to say thank you. Today Culver's CEO Craig Culver testified along with UW system officials to members of a state Senate Committee. The UW System, our state's network of public colleges and universities, is facing another $65 million dollar cut (referred to as the budget lapse). Culver said that education is the key to restoring the American dream: “I’m well aware of the situation that our state government is in, but I’m also aware of the hurt that is being put on students and education. Like almost everybody, I don’t care to pay more taxes, but I will. Especially if it means our students' education and their futures will benefit.” “If we truly want to grow jobs in our state...invest more in education.” Craig Culver
Instead of writing to my State Senator, tonight I’m buying a cone at Culver’s and saying thanks for standing up for public education.
Sincerely,
Jasmine, Public School Parent (& proud UWM employee)
