Send a message to Mayor Tom Barrett on the Zoo Interchange:

Dear Mayor Barrett,

I am tired of sitting in traffic and disappointed that you worked with Governor Doyle to put off fixing the Zoo Interchange. If you and Governor Doyle can’t even fix Wisconsin’s existing roads, how can you think it’s a good idea to spend over $800 million dollars of the taxpayer’s money on a fancy train to Madison?

Sincerely,

Mayor Tom Barrett, June 25, 2005: “I’m writing in opposition to funding preliminary engineering of the Zoo Interchange.”

“It is amazing that Governor Doyle and Mayor Barrett can advocate spending $810 million on a new ‘high-speed’ rail line while the state government cannot even fix one of the busiest interchanges in Wisconsin. Years of raiding the Transportation Fund and years of Milwaukee politicians like the Mayor fighting work on the East-West corridor have now led to a crisis that will have a negative impact on commerce.” –Scott Walker at http://www.scottwalker.org/node/1035
