I'd like to buy a veto

An article Thursday about a veto by Gov. Jim Doyle that would cut $35 million from preliminary engineering of Zoo Interchange reconstruction misstated how Doyle would change the budget. The article stated that Doyle would cross out the "8" in a $38 million appropriation, leaving $3 million, but the $38 million figure does not appear in the budget. Lawmakers added the interchange money and approved a separate motion indicating how the cash was to be spent. Doyle would cross out the Legislature's number for freeway work, $87.7 million, and write in $52.7 million instead. That is a "write-down veto." Crossing out digits to come up with a smaller number is called a "digit veto," not a "Vanna White veto," as the graphic incorrectly stated. The "Vanna White veto," crossing out letters to make new words, has been banned.
