Huebsch: Taxes are becoming "just ridiculous"

Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch of West Salem slammed Gov. Jim Doyle's proposed budget for the 2007-09 fiscal biennium, often calling Doyle's spending and taxing "ridiculous." He also called the budget's proposal to raise the fee of elk hunting licenses, while making sure to point out there is no elk hunting season in Wisconsin, "hilarious."

"How much further can they go?" Huebsch asked. "That is where the state Assembly will be that goalkeeper, and we will stand in the way of Jim Doyle and his tax increases."

Huebsch also promoted Assembly Republicans' victories, including the Assembly passage of the "Frankenstein" veto ban and a voter identification bill.
