And could the $810 million of federal RTA grant money be used for something else? Both Republican gubernatorial candidates have spoken out against high speed rail. Milwaukee County Executive Scott Walker wants to use the money to rebuild Wisconsin's crumbling roads and bridges.

The Alaska Highway was built during World War II to allow defense materials to reach Alaska. It was a two lane dirt road. In 1977, the U.S. and Canada ratified the Shakwak agreement which provided joint funding to pave the road. By 1998, that pavement needed replacing and safety improvements. That's what the bill Neumann voted for covered. Under the Shakwak Agreement, the United States pays for construction. Canada pays for construction management, right of way, and maintenance. analysis of primary election, Tuesday's primary ballot is weighted more heavily in contested races among Republican candidates. Namely in the race for Governor and U.S. Senate. Those are the races we now run through with two of the state's top political thinkers, UW-La Crosse political science professor Joe Heim. And in Milwaukee, UW-Milwaukee Political Science Professor Mordecai Lee. WisconsinVote.org tape, Andy Soth provided a guide to the WisconsinVote.org web site.
