As lawmakers gear up for a special session of the legislature on Monday, the details of the governor’s new budget are still unclear.
Black River Falls Republican Terry Musser says he still hasn’t see the plan, and he certainly can’t read the estimated “1700 pages” in an hour and then turn around and vote.
Governor Jim Doyle has been trekking around the state discussing some of the contents of his new budget plan. Musser, who is the Chair of the Veterans and Military Affairs committee, says Doyle is telling veterans groups that “extreme Republicans” want to dramatically cut veterans programs.
