Governor Doyle has now signed into law virtually every major piece of legislation called for under“Grow Wisconsin”including financial modernization legislation，tax reforms to help manufacturers pay the rising costs of energy，a bill to increase venture capital available to Wisconsin of entrepreneurs（〈法〉企业家），the single sales factor tax reform bill which repealed（撤销，废除）the tax penalty on companies that create jobs，and the most aggressive（敢作敢为的）regulatory reform in the Midwest．
From funding the BioStar initiative to expanding access to technology zone tax credits，Governor Doyle is capitalizing on Wisconsin of leadership in research，biotechnology（生物工艺学），and stem cells，and laying the foundation for a vast expansion in high tech jobs．
Health Care
From day one，Governor Doyle has made protecting health care a major priority．At a time when other states were cutting hundreds of thousands of people off of health care，Governor Doyle protected eligibility（合格）and benefits for SeniorCare，BadgerCare，and Medical Assistance．Governor Doyle also created a pharmaceutical（制药（学）上的）purchasing pool that will help reduce the cost of prescription drug purchases for state employees and will be expanded to allow companies to share in the savings generated from the buying power of the state．
Governor Doyle has also been a national leader in the fight to give Americans access to safe，affordable（花费得起）prescription drugs from Canada．Under his leadership，Wisconsin became the second state in the country to create a website drugsavings．wi．gov—that allows citizens to purchase lower price prescription drugs from companies that the state has visited and found to be safe，reputable（著名的）and reliable．
Governor Doyle signed a health care co－op bill that will help farm families lower health care costs by creating five regional health care purchasing alliances to negotiate better coverage，lower premiums（保险费）for farmers，and improve health care delivery for farmers and others who are underinsured（保险（额）不足的）．He also signed legislation to require all universities and colleges in the state to provide students with information on meningitis，and on the availability and effectiveness of vaccines（疫苗）．
State Bird州鸟
在1926—1927年，威斯康星州学生选出了自己心目中的州鸟，知更鸟获得了其他鸟所得投票数的2倍。1949年，知更鸟正式成为本州州鸟。它是画眉科的一种，它的歌声清脆婉转。雄性知更鸟呈天蓝色，胸部呈白色。而雌性则呈褐色，臀部、尾巴和翅膀呈蓝色。此种鸟能长到8．5英寸。
In 1926－1927，Wisconsin school children voted to select a state bird．The robin received twice the votes given any other bird．Chapter 218，Laws of 1949，which created Section 1．10of the statutes（法令，条例），officially made the robin the state bird．
Familiar in the summertime throughout North America，the American Robin is seen from Alaska to Virginia．Most people do not know that many Robins spend the entire winter in New England．They roost（栖息，安歇）among the evergreens（常绿树）in the swamps（沼泽，湿地）where they feed on winter berries（浆果）．

State Flower州花
紫罗兰在1949年成为威斯康星州的州花。这种花的特别之处就在于它的叶子。有一些紫罗兰叶片分叉，呈耳垂状。早期的紫罗兰有圆裂片，一般5—11瓣。后来产生了一些变种，才使得紫罗兰叶片的形状产生了变化。这种花一般在3—6月开放。紫罗兰同时也是伊利诺斯州、新泽西州、罗得岛州的州花。
The violet is also the state flower for Illinois，New Jersey，and Rhode Island．
Wisconsin’s school children were asked to vote for an official state flower in 1908，which left four finalists（参加决赛的选手）：arbutus（［植］杨梅），violet（紫罗兰），white water lily（百合，百合花）and wild rose．The following year they voted again using the four finalists and the violet won．However，the violet was only named Wisconsin’s unofficial state flower until 1948．Finally，during the Centennial celebration，a youth committee was set up to officially adopt several state symbols．At this time the official flower，tree and bird were decided．On Arbor Day 1909，the final vote was taken，and the violet won．Chapter 218，Laws of 1949，which created Section 1．10of the statutes，named the wood violet Wisconsin’s official flower．

State Flag州旗
本州州旗上的图案象征着本州许多宝贵的自然资源和先驱为本州发展所做的贡献。盾牌的上面的条幅上面有本州的箴言：“前进”，还有本州动物：獾。盾牌两边的海员和矿工分别代表在水上和陆地上工作的人。盾牌中心图案象征着本州工业，而围绕在它周围的4个部分分别象征着农业、矿业、制造业和航空业。下面的羊角和堆堆则象征着农产品和矿产品。1979年州旗法对本州州名和州立日期都做了修正。
An official design for Wisconsin’s state flag was initially（最初）provided by the legislature in 1863at the request of Civil War regiments who wanted an official flag to fly during the war on the battlefield．
