Jim Doyle was notorious for shifting funds around to accomplish his leftist goals, regardless of budgets or the legislature.

An example was a building fund for the UW-LaCrosse. As I understand it, there was finally enough money in this fund to begin work on new buildings. However, then Doyle had other needs for the money and simply found a way to transfer it from the building fund. Too bad, UW-L!

My information is gleaned from employees at the university. Hopefully someone has details. I am sure this happened with other dedicated funds, as well.

Walker needs to keep harping on “the mess they left”, just as the left does about Bush.
