Gov. Jim Doyle met with President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C., Wednesday.
""President Obama and his Administration have been important partners in helping move Wisconsin forward and our close relationship has been a great benefit to this state,"" Doyle said in a statement.
Doyle and Obama worked together to bring a high-speed rail to Wisconsin with federal funding, but Governor-elect Scott Walker has said repeatedly he will try to block the project.
However, Doyle praised the work Obama and his administration have done so far.
""There is still work to be done but today, in Wisconsin and across the country, businesses are starting to expand and make new investments, more working people have access to affordable health care, and we have protected education from major cuts that would have set our economic growth back for generations,"" Doyle said.
Doyle also met with cabinet members Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, Energy Secretary Steven Chu, and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.
