Three Rs: reading, ’riting, red ink

Drawing parallels to the Great Depression, Gov. Jim Doyle told Kenosha and Racine teachers Monday night that a lean budget and tight times would be necessary to weather economic storms, but he’s committed to keeping education strong in the state.

Calling his own budget “no bed of roses,” Doyle spoke to teachers at a special dinner hosted by the Kenosha and Racine Education Associations at the Parkway Chateau, touching on his priorities for education, health care and emergency serices.
