Milwaukee officials can again tap into federal transit planning money, but there is no agreement between city and county leaders on what transit improvements a study could help implement.
There is a separate pot of funding - - $91.5 million - - available for transit in Milwaukee, but County Executive Scott Walker wants to spend it on buses, while Mayor Tom Barrett wants it spent on both buses and a trolley loop in and near the downtown.
With Walker viewing anything that moves on rail as toxic, and unacceptable to his talk radio handlers, the stalemate will continue.
