Since I've been on an anti-Doyle rampage I figured why stop sharing
This one smells an awful lot like the stolen gas taxes I told you guys about.
I gurantee you he's using this collected money for other things and when it comes time to make the switch to these new ID's he'll claim we have a shortfall.
A guy I really like, Scott Walker, is preparing to run against Doyle in 2010. I will be actively campaigning for him

Madison - Gov. Jim Doyle's proposed budget puts no money toward complying with a federal anti-terrorism law, even though the state has been collecting $10 per driver's license to do so for over a year.
Doyle said Monday he is not abandoning the federal Real ID law.
"We're not shutting down our efforts by any means," Doyle told reporters in a conference call. "We are definitely slowing them down."
Residents of states that don't comply could not use their licenses to board airplanes or visit federal courthouses, starting as early as 2014. The law requires residents to provide birth certificates and other documents to get more secure IDs.
Wisconsin drivers began paying $10 more for driver's licenses last year - raising about $12.5 million - so the state could comply with the federal Real ID law, which Congress passed in 2005 to thwart terrorism and prevent illegal immigrants from getting licenses.
"If he's not using that money to comply with Real ID, then he ought to reduce that fee to what it was beforehand," said U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner, a Menomonee Falls Republican who wrote the federal legislation. "If he keeps the fee that was collected for Real ID and doesn't use it for that purpose, then he's stealing money from people who got licenses or renewed licenses since the fee went up."
The new fee brought the cost of a three-year license to $28 and an eight-year renewal to $34.
