Seriously….this is why I was never Gov. Jim Doyle’s biggest fan: Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration lacks the legal authority to use a $127 million accounting trick to help cover a shortfall in state health programs for the poor, the Legislature’s nonpartisan budget and audit offices report. The finding means the Democratic administration could have [...] Posted by Zach on June 21, 2010, at 5:34 am
Here’s an ad I put together as my take on the recent ad run by the Republican Governor’s Association tying Democratic gubernatorial candidate Tom Barrett to incumbent Gov. Jim Doyle: Posted by Zach on April 22, 2010, at 5:39 am
The Clean Energy Jobs Act, legislation geared towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions and boosting the state’s green economy appears to be dead after Democrats in the State Assembly failed to take up the legislation in an all-night session that began late Tuesday night and went into Wednesday morning. Governor Jim Doyle was quick [...] Posted by Zach on April 7, 2010, at 4:40 pm
Earlier today, I noted commerce secretary Dick Leinenkugel was resigning his position, and I noted it was clear Leinenkugel had his eyes on running for elected office. While I believed at the time Leinenkugel was preparing to run for governor, multiple sources are reporting Leinenkugel is actually planning on running as a Republican [...] Posted by Zach on February 25, 2010, at 6:06 am
I can’t help but wonder when the folks in Scott Walker’s gubernatorial campaign are going to come to the realization that they’re not running against Gov. Jim Doyle in 2010. Sure, I get it…they want to tie Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett to Gov. Doyle, but at what point does Scott Walker start being the [...] Posted by MadCityMan on January 18, 2010, at 11:30 am

Though not surprising, Gov. Jim Doyle’s veto of a bill that would strip future governors of the power to name the secretary of the Department of Natural Resources is truly disappointing. In explaining his veto, Gov. Doyle said: “The major environmental measures we’ve taken in the past seven years, from working to remove mercury [...] Posted by Zach on November 7, 2009, at 5:29 am
It’s been a long time coming, but on Thursday the Legislature approved a bill that would strip authority of future governors to appoint the secretary of the Department of Natural Resources. The bill gives the authority to appoint the secretary of the DNR to the seven-member Natural Resources Board. The State Senate voted 21-11 [...] Posted by Zach on October 27, 2009, at 5:14 am
Back in March, I wrote about Governor Jim Doyle’s flip-flop on AB 138, which would return control over the appointment of the Secretary of the Wisconsin DNR to a seven-member Natural Resources Board, instead of leaving the appointment of that position to the governor. For many years, the Secretary of the DNR had been [...] Posted by Zach on August 24, 2009, at 4:55 pm
Just a few random tidbits: The Journal Sentinel is reporting Assembly Speaker Mike Sheridan is considering a run for governor in 2010. According to the report, Sheridan has said it’s unlikely he’ll run. “I’ve heard from some people around the state,” encouraging him to consider it, Sheridan said. “I certainly am mulling it over, [...] |
