With one speech, Gov. Jim Doyle has offered state Democrats a platform for this fall’s elections: a living wage to lift families out of poverty, health care for all Wisconsin children, aid for low-income families to pay their heating costs this winter, easier financial access to the University of Wisconsin, and help for seniors to stay in their homes.
Doyle included those as points in his “Affordability Agenda,” unveiled during Tuesday night’s annual State of the State speech. He took to the road today to back up the speech with a series of statewide appearances.
