MADISON, Wis. -- Gov. Jim Doyle proposes taxing big oil companies more than $270 million over the next two years to help pay for the state's transportation needs.
Doyle wants to give the state Department of Revenue the authority to audit the earnings of oil companies. If the department finds that the tax is resulting in higher fuel prices, the offending company would be subject to fines in the amount of the gains reaped by the price increase or up to six months in jail.
