Gotta love how the Journal mentions this as if it's normal and perfectly reasonable (emphasis mine):
After the Assembly passes the budget, Assembly and Senate leaders are to meet to broker a compromise budget they can send to Doyle - a process that leaders again warned might take several months. Doyle can then rewrite the final budget with his veto pen.
Although technically correct, it's thrown in there as if this is a normal part of the budget process that is without controversy. Hopefully the compromise bill won't include the words Healthy or Wisconsin anywhere near each other, or we're screwed.
