For those of you not paying attention, Judge Michael Screnock lost the Wisconsin Supreme Court election to Rebecca Dallet, a radical leftist. So who is really to blame? Of course the Republicans will whine about how much money was spent by the other side, and how they were out spent. While that may be true, it’s always the case. The conservative base was energized in the past by the Republican Party actually standing for something, fighting for their beliefs, and doing what they said. But what did we have this legislative session? Idiot Republicans proposing tax increases and toll roads. Idiot Republicans content with having power, and not doing anything with the power.

The federal government just spent millions to redo much of that stretch. Under current federal law, most or all of that aid would have to be paid back to the feds. How is this being paid for? Long term debt? Has this been factored into the toll solution?2. Future federal aid will no longer be available for projects related to that stretch. Generally, only 10% is funded by the state. With tolls, the state is on the hook for 100%. Has this 10 fold increase in expense been factored into the toll solution?3. Any revenue generated by the tolls used for…
