Sensenbrenner blasts Doyle on Real ID
U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, R-Menomonee Falls, is blasting Gov. Jim Doyle for a proposal in the budget repair agreement reached by a bipartisan group of legislators to use $22 million meant for implementing the REAL ID program.
"When the State Legislature passed the state budget, they included a six dollar increase on drivers' license Renewal fees to help pay for Wisconsin to be Real ID compliant," Sensenbrenner says in his release. "Now, Governor Doyle is playing fiscal games and stealing from Wisconsinites $6 at a time to get himself out of this budget mess. Games will not make our country more secure. Governor Doyle must wake up and stop playing these games."
Sen. Decker said this morning that the REAL ID program is not "good thinking," and that the federal government should pay for the program, not the state.
Rep. Huebsch said Assembly Republicans support the program, and should the federal government require implementation, he thinks the state will implement it.
