Voters will decide in April whether to amend the State Constitution and scale back the veto power of Wisconsin’s governor.

The state assembly gave final approval Tuesday to the proposed amendment.

It would ban the so-called "Frankenstein Veto."

That’s when governors stitch together unrelated words and numbers to create new sentences with different laws and spending levels.

A majority of votes in the April 1 election would amend the State Constitution to take away that power.

Thats the best idea that I have heard all day. It's not so much the U.S. economy that will dicourage my spending as much as it is the Wisconsin economy. Doyle hasn't caused it all but he sure hasn't helped either. Thanks

I have a better idea. Let's just get rid of "Frankenstein" Doyle. He is a monster when it comes to spending tax money. We really can't afford him.
