Gov. Jim Doyle will present his second budget to state lawmakers tonight, aiming not only to balance the books amid a projected $1.6 billion deficit, but balance scores of competing interests and priorities for the next two years.
Doyle plans to balance the budget without making the kind of large-scale cuts he did two years ago, according to Administration Secretary Marc Marotta.
….For the UW, Doyle is expected to reverse two years of major reductions.
