Three blog posts explain Walker's WI transportation nightmare

I pulled out just these three:

Transit, highway spending keep Milwaukee region segregated.

More high-cost road project spending on tap.

"A little fill here and there may seem to be nothing to become excited about. But one fill, though comparatively inconsequential, may lead to another, and another, and before long a great body may be eaten away until it may no longer exist.

PSC and buttressing The Public Trust Doctrine, Article IX of the Wisconsin State Constitution.
