Steve Doyle on County Land, Hillview, Homelessness, Northside Railroad Crossings and State Budget & Prairie Springs

Given the federal budget uncertainty, Assemblyman Steve Doyle believes it will be unlikely the State will have a budget ready by the end of June. Without an approved budget, last year's budget numbers will continue until the Wisconsin Legislature passes a budget. Even then, budget repairs, as it's called, will update the budget to what changes have occurred since budget talks began. Right now, Doyle says, the Joint Finance Committee is starting on smaller budget items and will tackle the more contentious items later. The Assemblyman said that discussions on tax cuts usually need to occur for the budget to advance. The Onalaska-West Salem representative said all concerns and comments are welcome at any time to their representatives.

When asked about the UW - La Crosse's long-advocated Prairie Springs II project being funded, Doyle expressed optimism. The project is the second part of a building project that would house the University's science and technology programs. The first building was built a handful of years ago, but now local business leaders are left advocating and playing the political maneuvers to get the second phase built. Doyle says the new UW-L chancellor has been speaking with key individuals in Madison in hopes of getting the project funded.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
