"Clinton compared Doyle’s success in bringing the state out of a $3.2 billion deficit to the surplus the nation experienced under his presidency." - Daily Cardinal November 2006
"The budget unveiled by Gov. Jim Doyle is in step with the values of Wisconsin residents, who know the value of our investment in great schools. It offers a solid, balanced plan to use taxpayer resources wisely, and offers realistic solutions, not gimmicks." - WEAC 05-07 Budget
"Just weeks after the November 7 vote, state budget officials announced that the state faced a $1.6 billion budget hole going into the next two-year budget.
This immediately raised eyebrows because Doyle had campaigned claiming
that he had balanced the state budget" - WPRI
"Governor Doyle balanced two straight budgets without raising taxes – including solving
the largest budget deficit in Wisconsin history - $3.2 billion – that Congressman Green
helped Republicans in the state Legislature create." - Doyle Lawton Campaign
Well, I guess now we know who was telling the truth and who was lying during the 2006 election cycle for Governor here in Wisconsin. Governor Doyle Claimed that he had solved the $3.2 Billion deficit and had balanced budgets. Well here we sit 2 years later finding out that the budgets have deficits and are looking at a $5.4 Billion deficit by 2011.
"The Wisconsin Legislature will be forced to meet in special session early next year to begin dealing with the worst budget deficit in state history." - WISN Story
Maybe we should pay attention to what is really happening instead of listening to the rhetoric of a campaign.
