Democrats talking student debt. Feb. 8 at UW-L
Meeting at Centennial Hall
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been promoting ideas to make college more affordable in the state, but his list of ideas do not include the refinancing of student loans.
Democrats have been touting that concept without much support from Walker, and three local democratic lawmakers want to bring students together in La Crosse to talk about loan debt.
Representatives Jill Billings and Steve Doyle and Sen. Jennifer Shilling have announced a campus meeting on student debt for Feb. 8 at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse’s Centennial Hall.
The Walker program has emphasized solutions, such as providing tax deductions on the interest from student loans.
