How Long Can You Hold Your Breath?

Until Tuesday evening? Wednesday morning?


Link to February 15 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel article, "Doyle warns of pain in budget proposal".

Excerpt: Doyle repeatedly cautioned last week that his budget will be both unpopular and pinch most - if not all - Wisconsin residents in one way or another.

"I've told all my friends: You better like me today, because you're not going to like me on Wednesday," Doyle joked when he appeared before Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the state's largest business group.

Doyle's public comments, and the first fix-the-deficit package that the governor and Democratic legislative leaders negotiated, signal that the governor's 2009-'11 spending plan will include targeted tax increases, fewer services and new cuts in state spending.
