Rejection of Federal School Aid Urged by La Crosse County Group
The La Crosse County Taxpayers Assn directors urged rejecting any proposals that would place the federal government in education through construction aid operations or teachers salaries. They argued education is traditionally state and local, noting Wisconsin has built facilities and hired teachers without federal aid despite rising enrollment. David Dolezel warned federal programs incur costs and unnecessary spending in current conditions.
