Doyle: Gimme Money or Keep the Potholes

Good old DarthDoyle.

Gov. Jim Doyle Thursday warned that drivers may pay the price for legislative inaction on the state's looming budget deficit.

Doyle said uncertainty over state revenues is forcing many local governments to delay bids on road repair projects -- including pothole repairs.

"They don't know how much money they're going to be getting," Doyle told reporters during a Capitol press conference Thursday afternoon. "The snow is melting and people are anxious to get going with those repairs."

But if lawmakers fail to act soon, "you're going to see a lot of unhappy motorists out there."

Let's sell the Governor's Mansion and use the proceeds to fund pothole repairs.

Screw you, Doyle.
