<p>Incredible amount of potential projects preliminarily approved.</p>
<p>Top</a> Stories: Despite hard times, new UW buildings get tentative green light</p>
<p>Michigan gets lauded in the NYT for similar projects. Meanwhile most of the comments from the locals are ignorant complaints about "tax dollars". If they could read they would have seen the vast majority of $$$$ is coming from private sources and program revenues.</p>
<p>Barrons I know. UW Madison needs a better publicist (or hire the one in Ann Arbor). I can't read the comments section - typically the lowest common denominator. The private gifts quantities are so impressive. $28m for the indoor hockey facility! I love it. </p>
<p>Tandem Press has long deserved a quality facility.</p>
