RPW Response to Doyle’s Final State of the State Address

MADISON – Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Reince Priebus issued the following statement in response to Governor Doyle’s eighth and final State of the State address:

“Governor Doyle’s State of the State speech was a reminder that he’s spent the past seven years expanding state government instead of our state’s economy.

Growing government through new regulations, mandates, and entitlements is exactly what got our state into the current mess, and Doyle’s speech offered nothing to get us out of it.

Doyle is now proposing to significantly drive up the cost of energy for Wisconsin families and businesses, only to turn around and offset the rate increases on manufacturers with taxpayer dollars.

And somehow, Doyle doesn’t think Wisconsin voters will catch on that a new sales tax doesn’t equal a job creation plan.

It is clear that Wisconsin cannot afford more of Doyle’s failed policies, and in November, voters will have a chance to elect a new, Republican governor who will change course, bring accountability to the office and jobs into our state.
