The Governor says he wants to avoid drawing “lines in the sand” over fixing the state’s $527 million budget shortfall.
The state Senate will vote on their budget repair bill today, although the measure is expected to end up in a conference committee because of differences with the Assembly version of the bill. The Assembly passed their own budget repair measure before adjourning for the session earlier this month. Governor Jim Doyle says the two sides need to reconcile their differences quickly.
