No Funding for New Indigent Legal Fund

Committee Republicans chose not to provide half a million dollars in '06-'07 for an indigent civil legal services program in the Dept. of Administration's Office of Justice Assistance. Gov. Jim Doyle had recommended the establishment of the fund.

The motion to delete Doyle's recommendation passed on a party line 12-4 vote. The recommendation is detailed in Budget Paper 121.
