Sticker Shock

Anyone wanting to re-live old Warner Brothers cartoons and have their eyes bug out, by all means, read the State Senate Democrats amendment package to the JFC budget.

1. Page 95, line 3: increase the dollar amount for fiscal year 2005−06 by $285,000,000 and increase the dollar amount for fiscal year 2006−07 by $415,000,000 to increase funding for the purposes for which the appropriation is made.
That's just section 1 of A1, Senate Amendment 1, it's the WEAC-demanded education dollars. Who knows how many more they'll have after this one fails?

WisPolitics is also reporting that the State Senate GOP Caucus has reached a compromise within itself and that Schultz has at least 17 votes. Rumors are rampant as to what their package (to be voted on last) contains; and cuts.
