$90 million cut, or $9 million increase?

If you're confused by how newspapers and some legislators are referring to the same UW System budget as both cut and increase, it pays to have an interpreter. Saturday's edition of the Wisconsin State Journal provides a helpful translation with "UW System gets more, and it really is less," at http://www.madison.com/wsj/home/local/index.php?ntid=42292&ntpid=3.
