Doyle made history raiding transportation funds for social programs.I seriously doubt that.
California, and its sub-70-IQ elected criminals have always been the pioneers in raiding the taxpayers' pockets.
Always have been, always will be.

It is time for Wisconsin to seriously consider tolling.
How much of the money nominally taxed for the upkeep of roads is actually used for road maintenance, new road construction and directly associated costs? Unless the answer is 100%, the notion of charging tolls for roads built with public money is outrageous.

Where is ALL the money from gas taxes going? What happened to the $900 billion dollar Stimulus money Obama was given to rebuild the nation's infrastructure?
Obama treated it like his private slush fund.
It just seemed to be frittered away with little to show for it.

Toll Bridges, but it didn’t help their argument to point out that nuance....

I did not think Minnesota had any either.
To: Maine Mariner
I don’t know of any toll roads in Minnesota, but I’ve only lived here 35 years so maybe they are somewhere I don’t go. Can’t imagine where though.

There was only about $30 billion in that package for infrastructure.

Toll roads - the scam where you bundle in public employee pension debt in with ‘road building’ debt and then charge the public to use the road they already paid for (a couple times over) as a mechanism to fund that debt.
Don’t do it.

Forget tolls- go back to building/repairing roads with convict labor. Much cheaper than inflated bids by politically connected contractors, the only government workers involved would be the guys paid to shoot the escapees and it would increase prison space as part of the incarcerated would live in tents near the work site.

This guy hasn’t been to Wisc. recently.
He’s more interested in how projects are funded.
New Road and road projects all over the place.

Forget tolls- go back to building/repairing roads with convict labor. This ain't 'Cool Hand Luke'. With the demographics of prisons, they would essentially be accused of bringing back slavery.

I think the state needs a real audit to see where the money is spent.
To: dfwgator
Amendment 13,Section 1. Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Accuse away- it is allowed by the Constitution.

The communists at the Journal Sentinel want toll booths every five feet like in Illinois.
I love all the lib pablum about “roads and bridges.” Kind of like “path to citizenship.”

To “Black Lives Matter” maybe. Not to me....and it shouldn’t make a difference in any court, although that would only apply to sane jurists who actually read the law.
