MADISON - Gov. Jim Doyle and Lt. Gov. Barb Lawton are both out of the state this week, begging the question: Who's in charge?
Doyle departed for a trade mission on Wednesday but didn't bother telling Lawton he was leaving and she's in Washington, D.C.,
until Monday at a conference.
The constitution says when the governor's out of state the lieutenant governor serves as acting governor. The secretary of state is next in the line of succession.
