About 155 residents attended nine hearings across Wisconsin to review Gov. Patrick Luceys integrated transportation program. The plan envisions a 2 cent per gallon gas tax increase and higher vehicle registration fees with a new county transportation committee system and increased secretary of transportation powers.
