 freedomforum.org: Civil libertarians hope high court won't silence campus debate
But the concern among student groups — not just in Wisconsin but on dozens of other campuses where the same issue has been raised — is that if students are allowed to "opt out" of fees, student activity funds will dry up and controversial campus voices will be stilled.
Schoepke said she joined the suit when she realized that her student fee money was going to groups that lobbied legislators to take positions that were diametrically opposed to her own views.
The University of Wisconsin said that supporting political and ideological activities through student fees can be viewed as part of its educational purpose, and thereby meets the germaneness test.

 Critics say tax limits could handcuff tech investment | WTN
Earlier this week, the Associated Press published a study showing that Wisconsin companies saw their profits grow more than twice as fast as their state and local tax bills from 1982 to 2000, an indication that the state isn't necessarily the "tax hell" that many believe.
Jeff Schoepke, director of tax and corporate policy for WMC, said it would be hard to convince any taxpayer that a 1 percent difference in annual revenue growth at the state level "would have any effect on the quality and availability of government programs and services."
The bureau's analysis of TABOR's impact on local units of government indicated that in 2004, 45.8 percent of Wisconsin cities and 48.6 percent of villages operated underneath the cap.
