Looks like the transportation fund is empty and Diamond Jim found a new bag of money to rob. From the Wisconsin paper of record, The Lakeland-Times.

Frank's delay: Hitting snowmo clubs' pocketbooks
Smaller snowmobile clubs facing “dire straights”

As state snowmobile clubs continue to rack up significant expenses for maintenance and grooming activities on Wisconsin's 22,000 miles of state-funded trails, a much-needed $500,000 of misdirected 2009 Segregated Snowmobile Fund monies earmarked for supplemental funding to clubs sits in limbo in the state's General Fund, waiting for DNR secretary Matt Frank to act on the 13.10 Transfer paperwork.
The $500,000 represents additional snowmobile trail maintenance and grooming funds generated by a $17 increase in out-of-state snowmobile registration fees, which rose from $18 to $35.
"For whatever reason, the money was stuck in the General Fund instead of the Segregated Snowmobile Fund ...," said Tom Tomlanovich, trail boss for Eagle River's Sno Eagles Snowmobile Club and Vilas County director for the DeForest-based Association of Wisconsin Snowmobile Clubs. "
