Lawmakers have moved to scale back tuition benefits once lauded as some of the nations most generous to veterans, saying they proved far more popular and costly than expected.
The state Legislatures budget committee voted 16-0 last week to approve changes to the benefits, including eliminating a promise of free graduate school tuition for veterans and setting a limit on how much time they would have to apply.
The changes would take effect if approved by the entire legislature and Gov. Jim Doyle, who will consider them as part of his budget this summer. They would leave the program underfunded by millions of dollars, forcing universities and technical colleges to cover shortfalls by raising tuition or making cuts.
