Governor Doyle had this to say:
In a year-end interview at the governor’s residence, Doyle said the hardest part was meeting with people who lost their jobs through no fault of their own.
The governor also had to make deep cuts to balance the state budget in 2009 and the difficult decision not to run for a third 4-year term, a choice he says he regrets on some days.
What “deep cuts”? The budget that he signed included a spending increase in the billions, $2.1 billion in increased taxes and fees, and $2.9 billion in additional debt. What the hell was cut?
