Mark Belling is reporting that Governor Jim Doyle has modified his previous promise to pay for and guarantee college admission for all 8th graders in a Wisconsin University if they met certain requirements. Belling is claiming that Doyle's promise was to every 8th grader who met the requirements which, if successful, would include tuition. However, Belling is now pointing out that the initial requirements may not be enough, that only a select few will actually receive this grant and only for 2 years versus the 4 that Belling states was in the original agreement.
Belling states that it was a political stunt and that any school who participated was just plain stupid.
