Decision Coming on I94 Expansion

Yes.  Do it.  DO IT.

Expanding I-94 from six lanes to eight is an essential part of helping the Racine and Kenosha area grow and will provide needed jobs now, state Reps. Cory Mason and Robert Turner, both Racine Democrats, said Friday.

Mason and Turner were joined at a news conference by the International Union of Operating Engineers and others who support the $1.9 billion project from the Mitchell Interchange in Milwaukee County south to the Illinois border.

Naturally, the trainies and environmental folks are against it.

“It’s a false choice,” Mason said of contentions that the expansion money could be used for a rail link or other options. “That’s not actually the option that’s before us.”
