Senate Dem Budget Packs $8 Billion More to Budget

The Healthy Wisconsin plan adds nearly $8 million more in spending than Gov. Doyle's plan for the biennial budget, according to an LFB memo comparing taxes and fees between the proposals.

Doyle's all funds budget was $58.2 billion, while the budget the JFC approved had $58.1 billion.

The budget Senate Democrats assembled raises the all funds level to $58.5 billion, but when the Healthy Wisconsin plan is added, that amount increases to $66.1 billion, according to the memo.

See the memo here.
