MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A deal to solve Wisconsin's $527 million shortfall relies on a $125 million delay in aid payments to schools but not a new hospital tax advocated by Gov. Jim Doyle and Democrats.

The Legislature is to vote later this week on the deal announced Monday.

It also includes $69 million in cuts to state government. That's far less than the $250 million Assembly Republicans wanted.

And there are no assurances that the plan will be enough to avoid additional cuts or changes through the rest of the two-year budget that ends June 30, 2009.

Assembly Minority Leader Jim Kreuser says the deal comes in time to allow spring and summer road projects to proceed without delay.
