What "stimulus" was/is used for and what its supposed to be used for are two whooole different things.

The "stimulus money" should be used to upgrade existing infrastructure. We win now and later.

facts101, did you mean billion? 1.3 million is probably the toilet paper budget for the capital building, lotta BS there.

But wait, we need a useless train between Mad and Mil! And guess who will be supporting that "Amtrak" style boondoggle. On top of that we will be taxed to expand 94 to 6 lanes to accommodate all that vehicle traffic that the train was supposed to reduce.

All most every farmer has signed up to set aside land and be paid not to plant anything on that land. Why because farmers are able to produce enough to support this nation and others with less acres. If every tillable land was planted the farmers would began losing there farms because the price of product would plunge down to nothing with overstock grains. Yes good for the consumers but bad for the farmer. So don't feel bad when you hear about land being sucked up by buildings and highways.

yc94, most of the expansion will take place in the median, and little will happen in the way of outward expansion. It will be a lot like the way 90/39 was expanded between the state line and Rockford. The bridges were expanded a few years ago, and virtually all the work was done between the north and southbound lanes and not on the outside.

As I stated in the first article about this it has to wait till 2015. Doyle and his buddy Sheridan and the rest of the liberal idiots took 1.3 million out of the transportation fund to fund their budget wishes. There is no money to build this now. This project did not even have a number 3 months ago. And with out a number a project does not even get looked at. Funny how this is all taking place in an election year. Funny how its Sheridan's office that has to release this. Funny how he is fighting for his worthless hide this election. There are a lot of things funny here except the job the democrats have done destroying the state.

Six lanes will forever destroy many more acres of some of the world's finest farmland. We cannot drill for farmland like we drill for other resources. We will simply have less land to grow food for more people.

Hey Doyle, We need 6 lanes NOW!!!! How many more wrecks do we need in 4 years?????

4 valid comments and the article is about politics as usual. Frustrating.

Maybe they're too busy with the current highway boondogle on the Hwy 26 expansion to 4 (yes FOUR!!) lanes around Fort Atkinson.

Why isn't it started NOW to create jobs???
"Stimulus", anyone?

"as early as 2015"......so, THATS early???

Do it!
