EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NOT ILLEGAL?

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Governor Jim Doyle's proposed budget puts no money toward complying with a federal anti-terrorism law, even though the state has been collecting $10 per driver's license to do so for over a year. Let that sink in, we have been paying $10 more per license since last year, which has raised $12.5 million for the state, but the program we were told would be funded with this increased tax is not being funded.

The Governor even has the chutzpah to say that he is not abandoning the federal Real ID law. "We're not shutting down our efforts by any means," Doyle told reporters in a conference call. "We are definitely slowing them down."

WHY the lack of support for the Real ID program? Which special interest has Doyle sold out to now? Where is the leadership and the vision in our legislature to question Doyle on this?
