Summer is Coming
By Dave Dwyer

Madison

Governor Doyle has called the Legislature into a special session to deal with the projected budget shortfall due to the apparent recession the country has fallen into. We are going to have to watch this process to make sure that no motorcycle safety or education programs are being slashed to make up for the shortages in other parts of the budget. In past years, the Transportation Trust Fund has been a very tempting target as a source of funds to help fill the gap in the general budget. This is the fund that our gas tax, license and registration monies flow into, and is supposed to be dedicated for transportation infrastructure related expenses. After the winter we just went through many of our roads are in need of more weather related repair than normal. To use that money for any other purpose would constitute a breach of contract with the people who paid into that fund in my opinion. Without a solid system of roads our economy will suffer even further.
