The audit also includes 4 years under democrats and doyle. Doyle butchered the transportation funds. He stole hundreds of millions and stuck it in the general fund to do his welfare and kickbacks.

I worked in the WI DOT from 2011-2014, though in IT I didn’t get to see the source of overruns.

They liked to employ the strategy of starting a project and daring the state to cut it off (Zoo project, I-39/90 rework).

On the other hand, Doyle and the Dems like to divert DOT money for Dem projects.

On the third hand, dim bulb projects like multiple toaries that nobody wants in rural areas proliferated during my period there.

Doyle’s centralized data center at the east edge of Madison is a boondoggle we are stuck with. The old DOT building which may already be torn down as I write this was a fortress that was originally intended in ‘65 for most of Madison state government functions, but government grows.

This is what happens when there are no penalties for being late with a project. In fact, with most states, the overtime just keeps coming for the union goons on the job. Why would they ever get it done on time?

Some lawmakers questioned if the DOT was providing the Legislature with artificially low estimates to get the projects approved.
