Piercing winds and negative wind chills were not enough to keep hundreds of Wisconsinites from attending two actions against Governor Walker’s proposed budget cuts on the University of Wisconsin’s campus on Saturday, February 14. It was a cold, cold way to spend Valentine’s Day, with the wind in Madison whipping off of Lake Mendota, bringing the already frigid temperatures down to a danger zone of twenty-five degrees below zero. But this is Wisconsin, and in spite of the polar vortex, four or five hundred winter warriors arrived to rally. If these numbers, despite the cold, are any indication, Walker’s budget is drawing a lot of heat.
