Thank you for addressing my real point instead of some figment of your imagination.

Line-item veto, allowing the (now liberal Democrat) Governor Doyle to completely strip funding for each of these programs out of every budget submitted to him. There is no school choice without the dollars to fund it. There's no deer hunting without dollars to fund the DNR's printing of deer tags. Etc.

This is a valid concern. However, I don't think Doyle is likely to push his luck on these issues. Things like school choice and hunting are very popular in this state. If something like this were to happen, the best thing for the Republicans to do would be to bring the vetoed items up individually for a vote to override. This would force the Democrats in the legislature to either side with Doyle (thus painting a big target on their backs) or vote with the Republicans to override. Either way the Democrats come out as losers.

I addressed how Doyle can kill off those programs by defunding them, way back in reply 212.
