Huebsch says budget repair agreement may be days away
Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch said today in an interview with WisconsinEye that an agreement on a budget repair bill is days away.
Carrie Lynch, spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker, didn't throw water on the enthusiasm.
"We're pretty optimistic too, and we're talking with Huebsch folks and the governor's folks and hoping something happens very quickly," she said.
"We're trying to get as far as we can to get a lot of stuff out of the way, so we can see where we have common ground and move from there," Lynch said.
Jessica Erickson, a spokeswoman for Gov. Jim Doyle, said the governor is hopeful that a speedy agreement is in the works.
"The governor has always said we need to get this done quickly," she said. "We are in regular meetings, and we will continue to meet with legislators."
