Raid On Federal Transit Funds For More Roads Sought By Bush Administration

Some state politicians have yelped when Gov. Jim Doyle moved some state transportation dollars to fill other budget needs.

Much of that whining has been couched in oh-so principled gripes about "raiding segregated funds," but have you heard any of those folks raising the same objections to the Bush administration's plan to take gobs of money from federal transit accounts and shift it to... highway spending?

In fact, have you heard anything about the plan at all?

Michael Horne has.
