MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Jim Doyle has used his partial veto power to order state agencies to cut deeper and ensure schools will get promised aid payments on time.

Doyle signed a bill Friday designed to fill a $527 million deficit in the current state budget brought on by the faltering economy. The bill called for $69 million in cuts to state agencies, delaying $125 million in school aid payments and refinancing the state's tobacco bonds to capture $209 million.

The governor used his partial veto power to order state agencies to cut another $200 million and wipe out another $180 million for road maintenance legislators tucked into the bill. He also vetoed the delay in school payments.
