Doyle, legislative leaders meeting today
Gov. Jim Doyle will meet with Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker and Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch in the governor's office late today to discuss the budget repair bill.
The repair bill has been mired in discussion for months between the legislative leaders, their staffs, and representatives for the governor. Sources have told WisPolitics that the deal worked on by Decker and Huebsch includes delaying a school aid payment to the next fiscal year and a plan to sell off future years of the tobacco settlement that goes well beyond the $30 million proposed by Doyle.
Doyle yesterday in Milwaukee expressed his displeasure with pushing off a school aid payment to the next budget and selling future tobacco payments. He said he didn't think most lawmakers would support the proposals.
