Milwaukee Journal Sentinel endorses Doyle

The Sunday edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel will contain an endorsement of Governor Jim Doyle.

The editorial includes:

"Inheriting a $3.2 billion deficit from previous GOP governors and Legislatures, he balanced the budget and, eventually, restored state funding to public schools to two-thirds. Simply, the state's ranking as a high-tax state predates him, and it is disingenuous to point the blame his way just now.

As a check against legislative overreach, Doyle's veto has been invaluable. On concealed carry, on legislation that would have had pharmacists' personal views trump what a doctor prescribes for a patient, on voter ID - whose true intent is voter suppression - and on legislation that threatened embryonic stem cell research.

Green is anti-abortion. Doyle is for a woman's right to choose. Green is against government funding of pioneering embryonic stem cell research. Doyle is for it. Green favors a taxpayer protection amendment that would limit, through the constitution, local spending. Doyle, forcing a freeze on local governments to accomplish much the same thing, is against it.

Doyle is the better choice."
