UW-Madison chancellor blasts WMC

Outgoing UW-Madison Chancellor John D. Wiley decries Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce as the “biggest driver of our toxic political environment” in the new issue of Madison Magazine.

Wiley complains the state’s largest business organization has allowed itself to be “hijacked by highly partisan, ideologically driven staff” and is the biggest obstacle to the recovery of Wisconsin’s economy.
