Governor Doyle: State Of Emergency In 30 Counties

By Katie DeLong

OAK CREEK - Governor Doyle, along with County Executive Scott Walker and Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke held a press conference Monday afternoon to discuss the flooding damage throughout Wisconsin. “Last spring, we saw water levels at 100 year highs and I think many of us didn’t think we’d see that again. We have a lot of cleaning up ahead of us, of roads, bridges and water treatment facilities,” Governor Doyle said in the press conference. Gov. Jim Doyle added Walworth County in southeastern Wisconsin to a list of 29 other counties where a state of emergency had been declared Monday. Click on the video link to see the press conference.
