MADISON (AP) â?? Gov. Jim Doyle says heâ??ll propose offering group health insurance benefits to domestic partners of all state employees when he presents his state budget proposals to lawmakers during the coming week.That is broader than his proposal rejected by legislators two years ago to offer domestic partner coverage to University of Wisconsin employees.
Republicans controlled both houses of the Wisconsin Legislature then, but Democrats now control the Senate and the Republican majority in the Assembly has been narrowed.
