A spokeswoman for the Democratic leader of the state Senate says he and the Republican speaker of the Assembly are “pretty close” to a deal on solving the state’s $527 million budget shortfall.
Senate Majority Leader Russ Decker has been meeting privately with Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch and members of Gov. Jim Doyle’s staff for over a month trying to reach a deal.
Decker’s spokeswoman Carrie Lynch says she’s hopeful all sides can agree to something soon.
She says the latest offer would not include a hospital tax supported by Doyle and Democrats. But it does include a delay in school aid payments that lawmakers support but Doyle does not.
