Wisconsin Highway Funds and Icy Road Dangers
Fred Harman warns in a committee hearing that Wisconsin lacks funds to maintain even primary highways amid icy roads. He cites 191 deaths and 2,700 injuries in 7,500 accidents, with only 4,500 miles of 9,900 miles paved and governed by outdated speed levels. He argues state policy diverts highway revenues to other uses, leaving motorists paying for underdeveloped roads.
