Madison— Secretary of State Doug La Follette sued Gov. Scott Walker on Tuesday, arguing that the budget he signed Sunday violates the state constitution by interfering with La Follette's ability to maintain state records.

The spending plan Walker approved cut La Follette's budget by about half, transferred some of his duties to Walker's Department of Administration and called for moving La Follette's office from rented space into smaller space in the basement of the state Capitol.

The lawsuit comes a day after the Republican governor launched his presidential campaign. La Follette is a Democrat.

The state constitution requires the secretary of state to "keep a fair record of the official acts of the legislative and executive department of the state." La Follette's lawsuit, filed in Dane County by attorney Roger Sage, contends Walker's budget impedes his ability to do that.
