Wisconsin probe called into land buys for freeways
Milwaukee area land purchases by state officials spark calls for investigation. Reports claim nearly 1 million dollars spent on 260 acres in Milwaukee Waukesha and Washington counties in belt freeway paths while 20 thousand was spent on North Side property for Stadium Freeway. Critics say secrecy and lack of hearings violate procedures though officials defend early acquisitions as cost saving. The dispute involves city county state highway groups and a push for housing relocation safeguards and federal aid deadlines loom.
