The Wisconsin legislature is getting ready to pick apart the state budget again. This time around, the ailing economy is causing a hole as wide as $5 billion.
“It’s very, very significant,” said Sen. Mark Miller, (D) 16th District. “It’s probably as bad or close to as bad as any the state’s encountered in a generation.”
Sen. Miller is hoping tough economic times will inspire his fellow legislators to make tough decisions. With a $5 billion budget hole, he says everything is on the table.
