MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Governor Jim Doyle's administration has revealed how much individual state agencies must cut to help balance Wisconsin's budget.

A bill Doyle signed in May to shore up a $527 million deficit in the current two-year state budget calls for state agencies to give back $270 million to the state general fund. Doyle's budget director, David Schmiedicke, released a memo Thursday outlining where those cuts will come.

The University of Wisconsin System must chop $25 million, the Department of Natural Resources $13.2 million and the Department of Commerce $10.5 million.

The state Department of Health and Family Services also must cut $53.3 million from Medicaid.
