Budget May be Republished due to Veto Error

"The Legislature is looking at republishing the state budget without one of Gov. Jim Doyle's partial vetoes because the veto violated the state constitution," reports JS Online.

Legislative leaders did not want to try to override the veto -- which requires a two-thirds vote -- because they didn't want to recognize it as valid... Leadership committees for both houses are expected to authorize republishing the budget next week.
