He has tested, serviced and sold products made by Mercury Marine, the boat-engine maker that has called this city home for decades. He worked 24 years for the company and for the last 21 years has operated the Mr. Marine boat dealership.
So, Lloyd took notice when news began to surface this month that Mercury Marine might be looking to consolidate operations, either in Wisconsin or in Stillwater, Okla.
“It would be a devastating blow here; they’re the No. 1 employer in town,” Lloyd said, calculating the potential impact of Mercury choosing Oklahoma over Wisconsin.

Yesterday, the Senate passed a budget that was approved by a Conference Committee on a 17 to 15 vote with your senator, Dave Hansen voting in favor. A Conference Committee is a panel of legislators formed to iron out differences between the Senate and Assembly when they pass different budgets. The budget that came out of that committee raises taxes over $2 billion, property taxes an additional $1.5 billion, and increases government spending by nearly 7 percent. As well, there are non-fiscal policy provisions that changed in this budget compared to the Senate and Assembly versions, including those dealing with automobile insurance. This change is very important for Northeast Wisconsin drivers who, if it is enacted into law, will be paying higher insurance rates to subsidize high risk drivers in areas like Milwaukee.

At a time when families are struggling to pay bills and keep their jobs, the Governor is proposing to add to their burden by raising taxes and increasing government spending ($4.5 billion) to record levels. The nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau released a memo this week that detailed all of the fee and tax increases in the budget. The tax and fee increases are roughly $1.5 billion and $240 million respectively. These increases do not include $1.2 billion in tax increases that were in the budget repair bill proposed and passed by the Democrats in just 48 hours last month.

Governor Doyle, joined by legislative Democratic leaders, introduced a budget repair bill this week. Wisconsin is currently facing a $594 million budget deficit and by law the Governor must introduce a repair bill if expenditures exceed revenues by more than .5 percent in a fiscal year. The repair bill is separate from the biennial budget bill which has not yet been introduced by the Governor and has a projected $5.7 billion shortfall. Under Governor Doyle, Wisconsin has had 6 budget repair bills in 6 years.
To close the deficit, the Governor and legislative Democrats are proposing a tax increase on health care of close to a billion dollars over the next two years, a business tax increase of $215 million, a sales tax increase of $61.3 million, and an ‘iPod’ tax of $10.9 million.

Governor Doyle delivered his annual State of the State address this Wednesday. He discussed our state’s economic outlook, $5.75 billion deficit, and briefly touched on his priorities for this budget. This address comes at a time when jobs are being lost, businesses are closing, and consumer confidence is at an all time low.
Wisconsin’s deficit is fourth largest in the nation and number one per capita. How is it that we are in the same category as such states as California and New York? Since Governor Doyle has taken office, government spending has increased by 25 percent. Government credit card borrowing has increased by 60 percent. Doyle has grown the state employee workforce by 4,900 in the last year alone after promising to cut state employees by 10,000 by 2010. This has occurred while private sector jobs have dropped by 66,000.

The bill, Oklahoma Joint Resolution 1089, would legislate sovereignty under the Tenth Amendment to the Constitution which also serves as a Notice and Demand to the federal government, which constitutionally is an agent of the sovereign states as there in guaranteed; whereas now the states are demonstrably treated as agents of the federal government.
