State Senator Jim Holperin (D-Eagle River) criticized a 2012-’13 state budget that will pour $410 million more into road projects over the next two years, with virtually none of the new highway spending headed to northern Wisconsin.

“Instead, road aid cuts of 3% to 15% will be the rule across the north where residents count on good roads for logging, tourism, agriculture, education and commuting,” he said."

“In a budget proposal filled with cuts to school aid and dozens of other programs, less health care for the poor, and the complete elimination of programs like recycling, transportation spending is slated to grow by almost 15%,” Holperin explained. “Yet nearly all the new money will go toward major projects in the southern part of the state.”

Specifically, Milwaukee’s “Zoo Interchange” will get $225 million; I-94 from Milwaukee south to the state line will get $195 million; and I-90 from Madison south to the state line will get $59 million.

Where was Recall Jim Holperin when this happened? From the Wis State Journal.

State leaders have taken about $1.2 billion in recent years from the state transportation fund.
Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle led the misguided raids.

So Holperin and Doyle stole $1.2 billion and he wonders why some in Wisconsin will have to do with less.


If we don't fix the zoo interchange, the most used interchange in Wisconsin, business in Wisconsin will not be able to ship goods and services in this state. Holperins bad decisions in the past tells everyone in the 12th he is out of touch with the voters and has to go in the recall election. 


RECALL JIM!!!!
