Doyle also expressed concern over talk about decertifying unions or turning Wisconsin into a right-to-work state

The following summary is written by WisPolitics.com;

“I do think giving people an opportunity to have some say in their own economic well-being is really important for a state and country,” Doyle said. He held his efforts to ensure 98 percent of Wisconsinites has health insurance among his top accomplishments. But he wished he would have been able to set up exchanges for small businesses, something he said will now be able to happen under federal health care reform.Doyle also touted his record on taxes, saying that Wisconsin went from the fourth to the 15th-highest taxed states since he took office. When fees and taxes are considered, Wisconsin drops to 21st, he said.“The fact is, although Republicans will just never own up to this, is that for 16 years of their rule, we were fourth in the country—and this is the same measurement, we're comparing apples and apples—as I leave offer we're 15th. That's the fact.”While Doyle said he would do whatever he can to help President Obama get re-elected, he and his wife Jessica want to live in Wisconsin.“I have never lifted a finger or taken a single step in any way to try to have a job in Washington in the administration,” Doyle said.
