Question No. 9: Transportation
In an article published Jan. 21, 2002, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (registration required) reported that Wisconsin spends one-third more than the national average on highways. The Wisconsin Policy Research Institute said in a 2003 report (PDF) that the amount was more like 40 percent higher than the national average.
Meanwhile the usual sources to fund transportation projects are falling way short in addressing the transportation needs of the State.
Do you support a user fee/toll system to pay for the reconstruction of the Marquette Interchange and the freeway system in southeast Wisconsin?
Are there ways to bring down the costs of road construction and maintenance in the state?
Do you think local governments can do a better job of stretching the available funds?
Please explain your answers.
