During an April 1st news conference Governor Doyle admitted he, "really screwed the pooch," regarding the gutting of the film tax credit program in the 2009-11 biennial budget in which he reduced the available funds to $500,000 per year, raised the application fee to $5000 or 2% of the budget, and required producers best a rancor in a pit under the Capital building in Madison.

      The previous day while having lunch in downtown Milwaukee, the Governor was startled to see what appeared to be tears coming from the eyes of a statue of the popular television character Arthur Fonzarelli. "The Bronze Fonz made me see clearly for the first time," said Doyle.

      The statue, which was unveiled in 2008, had not before been known to perform miracles. "All I ever saw was the thumbs up, 'Aaaayyyyyy!' kind of thing," commented Ed Schlitz, a local bartender.

      Doyle was reportedly reading an article in the Business Journal titled, Film Recruiting Efforts Stall when he looked up and witnessed tears trickling down the cheeks of the bronze statue. "The fact that there was a tear like substance coming from the eyes of the Bronze Fonz is a miracle," said Doyle. "Even if there is a logical explanation."

     According to Doyle, the Fonz has helped him through some tough times and he enjoys visits to Milwaukee so he can gaze fondly at the statue. "If the Fonz sends me a message, I should listen."

      Emily Meyer, a waitress at the restaurant, witnessed Doyle's reaction. "This old guy jumps up and starts pointing at the statue of that guy from some TV show or something and then he starts like freaking everybody out."

      The Governor reportedly declared to the other patrons that he was the, "worst Governor ever," punched the jukebox and then left. Henry Winkler was unavailable for comment.
