Just had to bring this to the top so you can see the picture a reader made
it’s at the bottom, check it out!
UPDATE: 12:40 p.m.
Special thanks to WTMJ News Anchor / Reporter Jennifer Brown for supplying me with the exact numbers
On Friday’s radio show, Jeff Wagner reported that the numbers were in pertaining to the cost of Ward Churchill speaking at UW Whitewater. The final numbers were not the announced $4,000 speaking fee, it came to over $12,000 of taxpayer and student money, all for an anti-American bigot to speak to a room full of students.
I missed the exact numbers, I didn’t take notes because (I thought) I was recording the show, but I forgot to reset my audio recorder, so I recorded five and a half hours of dead air
and after a quick search, I couldn’t locate the numbers online.
UPDATE: CORRECTION
Thanks to Jeff Wagner, the actual numbers were based on a Jennifer Brown news story, the total was about $11,900, (after security, the hall, etc.) but he didn’t have the actual numbers at hand either. Thanks Jeff!
UPDATE: The Numbers
