Legislation providing 150 million dollars in one-time state funding from the budget surplus to improve agriculturally important local roads that are often posted with weight limits has been signed into law. Governor Tony Evers tells Brownfield, “We had a nice group of Republicans and Democrats bipartisanship making this happen, and basically it’s going to be a long-term effort but making sure that our roads and agricultural parts in the State of Wisconsin, which is all of Wisconsin obviously, are safe.” The Governor says now the challenge is to get the Legislature to approve more people at the Department of Transportation to implement this program.
