Nothing Accomplished

"Nothing was accomplished here today and nothing will be accomplished today and the reason is this is just a game that's being played," Sen. Fitzgerald said to the audience.

Fitzgerald blamed Gov. Doyle for not being engaged in the process, and Democrats for not working with him to come up with agreements he won't veto. He said any packages brought to the table or offered behind the scenes is "not a valid offer" if the governor hasn't

Fitzgerald said Doyle has "never been a governor that's embraced the Legislature or wanted to work with the Legislature much."

He said the governor should cancel his upcoming trade mission to China in order to work with the committee to bring together a budget. "He needs to be part of the process," Fitzgerald said.
