Doyle nixes school aid delay, pulls money from transpo fund
Gov. Jim Doyle used his veto pen today to nix a move to push a school aid payment into the next biennium and ordered another $270 million in lapses from state agencies, including the transportation fund, to help fix the state's budget problems.
Doyle also killed a transfer from the REAL ID fund but left in place a corporate tax increase.
He also eliminated a provision to provide property tax exemption for low-income housing, saying it was a laudable goal that needed a full public hearing and legislative debate.
