The
Fox Cities Education Committee has taken steps to protest against the site
selection committee’s recommendation of the Shorewood site in Green Bay for the
northeastern Wisconsin University and asked for nullification of that site. The
major objection to the selection of the Shorewood site by the Fox Cities group
is its inaccessibility. George E. Greenwood, Kaukauna representative on the Fox
cities committee said, “I feel that taxpayers are more than willing to support
education, but I do not think they will accept the diversion of millions of
dollars in highway funds in order to make this site acceptable.” “Writing
letters directly to the governor is one way interested citizens can express
their displeasure at the selection of the Green Bay site.” Assemblyman William
Rogers of Kaukauna pointed out this week that proposed sites for the North Eastern
Wisconsin University East of the Fox River were ruled out 14 months ago.
