On-again, off-again funding for UW performing arts building now off-again

The Wyoming Legislature is changing its mind about taking $30 million in temporary funding from one-time highway funds. On Tuesday, the money came out of the highway funding bill. Said Senate President Phil Nicholas:
"All we're doing is Band-Aiding [highways] for two years, and then we're losing some enormously important opportunities.
These opportunities included funding a new engineering building and the extensive renovation of thew performing arts building.

On Thursday, the Senate took back the money.

It's getting tough to keep up. Try to keep track at http://legisweb.state.wy.us
