With accusations between state Democrats and Republicans over the upcoming 2-year budget, Governor Jim Doyle was in La Crosse on Monday to talk about it.

Doyle spoke at fire station number #3 and says he does not support the Republican-controlled Assembly's budget. Pointing towards civic services, the Democratic governor says if the Republican budget passes, it would mean fewer police, firefighters and teachers for La Crosse.

"This budget cuts $130 million out of our public schools, which would eliminate 1,700 teachers across the state of Wisconsin," says Doyle.

The Governor says the budget cuts, from the Republican plan, would total $1.1 million in La Crosse County alone.
