Rep. Gordon Hintz, D-Oshkosh, said the biggest hurdle UWO faced was getting approval from the building commission. Hintz said he knows that the chancellor has spent considerable time at that commission.
"One of the reasons why I believe this plan will be successful and will have the support of the legislature is because UWO and Chancellor Wells have done a good job planning it," Hintz said.

No, the biggest hurdle UWO faces is getting the local community to pony up $8 million.
Give Wells credit for trying, but squeezing that much money out of the notoriously tight fists of Oshkosh strikes me as a fool's errand.
I guess if Craig Culver sells enough burgers....
