The stage appears set for a battle over budget repair. State Senate Democrats vote next week on their budget repair bill — and that might mean a summer of haggling with Assembly Republicans. “I’m going to do everything possible to prevent that,” says Monona Democrat Mark Miller. Miller chairs the Senate finance committee, which passed the plan Thursday on a 6-2 vote. “The budget repair proposal . . . takes elements of the governor’s proposal, takes elements of the Assembly proposal, and it’s a clear demonstration that we’re commited to a fair and responsible response to the budget shortfall.”
