Legislature To Fix Budget… Again

Let’s see… this would be the second time in five months that the legislature must take action to fill a hole in the current budget.

The Wisconsin Legislature is moving quickly to avoid ending the current fiscal year with a $200 million deficit.

Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration warned in a letter to legislative leaders last week that the state would end the fiscal year with the deficit unless $261 million in federal stimulus money was used to make the June 15 aid payment to schools.

The Senate is expected to take the action on Tuesday followed by the Assembly on Wednesday.

I thought Doyle balanced the budget?

1. No, Doyle will fix the budget when he signs the next one. We all can clearly see that like a successful businessman, he has contained costs and expanded market-share (bringing in more tax payers to the state - what, illegals looking for a break on college tuition don’t count?).
