MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Jim Doyle has called a Wednesday special session for state lawmakers to act on making changes to the state's hospital tax to access more federal money.

The changes are included in the two-year state budget, but progress on getting that passed before July 1 has stalled as legislative leaders have yet to find agreement on major differences.

Doyle said Tuesday he was calling on lawmakers to act on the hospital tax portion so the state doesn't lose about $110 million in federal Medicaid money. To get the money, the tax changes must pass the Legislature and be signed by Doyle by Monday.

Doyle said his preference is for the whole budget to pass on time, but he's calling on lawmakers to act to meet what he said are critical financial deadlines.
