Road Builders Go Into Panic Mode

What a load of crap. 

In a press release today, TDA executive director Craig Thompson praised legislative leaders for rejecting the Doyle proposal, but said Busalacchi’s letter shows the Doyle administration is not willing to give up the proposal.

“What the secretary is talking about is redirecting hundreds of millions of dollars from road projects resulting in the loss of thousands of Wisconsin jobs,” Thompson said.

Really?  “THOUSANDS” of jobs?  I’d like to see the documentation behind that hyperbolic claim. 

I don’t support raiding the transportation fund either, but let’s try to retain some grip on reality.
