Solving Wisconsin's budget problems may mean cutting prizes at county fairs and grants to bolster minority businesses.

The head of Wisconsin's Department of Administration sent a letter to state agency secretaries this week, listing those grants and others as potential cuts. Legislative approval would be needed.

The memo says the cuts could range from 10 percent of the grants to the entire amount not already awarded. Gov. Jim Doyle has said he wants to cut $25 million in grants to deal with this year's $386 million budget shortfall.

Other possible targets are grants for programs promoting clean water and recycling and fighting smoking and compulsive gambling.
