In introducing his budget last week, Gov. Jim Doyle said he had “identified” $25 million for a state program aimed at ensuring a college education for students who stay straight and study hard.
But what the Democratic governor’s budget plan doesn’t do is either spend that money or set it aside for the Wisconsin Covenant program.

Wisconsin budget: Prisoner proposal defended.

Gov. Jim Doyle’s proposed prison changes would make an estimated 3,000 felons eligible for early release from prison — potentially including thieves, cocaine couriers and tax cheats — and could lift state supervision of an additional 7,000 people on probation.
The proposal, unveiled Tuesday as part of the state’s 2009-11 budget, could save millions of dollars while also providing rehabilitation incentives to prisoners, Corrections Secretary Rick Raemisch said.
Release only would be granted if felons followed the rules and demonstrated good behavior, and if an Earned Release Review Commission — which would replace the Parole Commission — approved it, he said.
